Coronavirus is a health risk that has plagued the world all around. For that reason, many health institutions are working around the clock in order to find ways to diagnose and treat it. Diagnosing it is also an important process other than treating it, for it prevents the virus from spreading even further. As time has gone by, so has the technology of diagnosing COVID-19.
Here are the 4 different ways to diagnose the corona virus.
MOLECULAR TEST | ANTIGEN TEST | ANTIBODY TEST | ECLIA TEST | |
Also known asโฆ | Diagnostic test, viral test, Rapid diagnostic test* Serological test, serology, molecular test, nucleic acid blood test, serology test amplification tests (NAAT), RT-PCR tests | Rapid diagnostic test | Serological test, serology, blood test, serology test | Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay |
How the sample is taken… | Nasal or throat swab (most tests) Saliva (a few tests) | Nasal or throat swab | Finger stick or blood draw | Blood draw |
How long it takes to get results… | Same day (some locations) or up to a week | One hour or less | Same day (many locations) or 1-3 days | One to two hours for 200 samples |
Is another test needed… | This test is typically highly accurate and usually does not need to be repeated. | Positive results are usually highly accurate but negative results may need to be confirmed with a molecular test. | Sometimes a second antibody test is needed for accurate results. | This test is typically highly accurate and usually does not need to be repeated. |
What it shows… | Diagnoses active coronavirus infection | Diagnoses active coronavirus infection | Shows if youโve been infected by coronavirus in the past | This test uses blood sample to determine if a patient has been exposed to the virus and if they have developed antibodies against it. |
What it can’t do… | Show if you ever had COVID-19 or were infected with the coronavirus in the past | Definitively rule out active coronavirus infection. Antigen tests are more likely to miss an active coronavirus infection compared to molecular tests. Your health care provider may order a molecular test if your antigen test shows a negative result but you have symptoms of COVID-19. | Diagnose active coronavirus infection at the time of the test or show that you do not have COVID-19 |
