A PCR COVID test is a laboratory testing method that amplifies DNA or RNA sequences for detecting or analyzing infections such as COVID-19. It is known for its accuracy and reliability in identifying specific virus material, making it a preferred choice for COVID-19 testing.
The nasal swab test looks for evidence of an active viral infection. If you are currently experiencing upper respiratory symptoms consistent with those of COVID-19 (cough, fever, body aches, fatigue, recent loss of taste), or have been in contact with someone who tested positive for the virus, visit our Newport Beach urgent care center today! We can perform a simple swab PCR test that detects genetic material of the virus.
Antibody blood tests, also called serologic tests, check for the presence of antibodies to coronavirus in the blood. It can be used to detect a past infection. IgM and IgG are immunoglobulins produced by the immune system to protect against COVID-19. The level of IgM antibody begins to rise 1 week after the initial infection, while the rise in IgG usually appears after 14 days. Elevated IgG levels can last for 6 months or even several years. By testing for the presence of these antibodies, we are able to determine if a patient was previously infected by the coronavirus. The test does not diagnose an active infection or identify who is protected from reinfection.
For COVID testing suitable for international travel, Newport Urgent Care in Newport Beach offers testing services, including PCR and antigen tests. These tests help determine if you currently have the virus or have been previously exposed. It’s important to check their current testing offerings and protocols beforehand.
Interpreting COVID-19 test results involves understanding the meaning of positive, negative, invalid, or indeterminate outcomes. A positive result indicates an infection with the virus, whereas a negative result suggests the absence of the virus, but doesn’t rule out infection completely.
