What types of testing do we perform?

Today, there are two types of diagnostics for detecting COVID-19:

1. ELISA test for coronavirus. This is a determination of the presence of antibodies (IgM, IgG), i.e. immunoglobulins, in the blood. For this, blood is taken from a finger or from a vein. In order for the studies to show the presence of antibodies in human blood, they must be in a certain concentration.

Important for those traveling abroad! The body produces immunoglobulins for 5-7 days, so until that moment, such a test for coronavirus Kyiv is not carried out.

2. The PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test for COVID-19 is the main laboratory test that helps to identify coronavirus infection. To do this, mucus is collected from the client’s mouth (nose) using sterile special instruments, and then tests are performed to identify the infection. It is the most accurate test.

In what situations is it important to take Covid tests in Kyiv?

This testing must be taken if:

1. There are certain symptoms resembling ARVI (high temperature, weakness throughout the body, difficulty breathing and shortness of breath, dry cough, muscle pain, loss of taste and smell, persistent headaches, nasal congestion, other signs of acute respiratory viral infection). In this case, it is important to promptly perform a test for IgM antibodies to COVID-19 (detection of disease activity).
2. There was direct contact with an infected person.
3. If there is a suspicion that the disease was transmitted in an asymptomatic (latent) or mild form.
4. You need to cross the state border during a pandemic and go through customs control at the airport.
5. You are going to another country for various reasons (work visa, tourism, visiting relatives, competitions, treatment, etc.) to exclude the suspicion of the presence of coronavirus infection in the body.
6. You don’t want to be isolated in your destination country and tested for Covid-19.
7. Would you like to check your personal health?
8. You have recovered from coronavirus and need to determine the level of immunity you have acquired after the illness. In this situation, you need to take a test for IgG antibodies to COVID-19.

How to prepare for a COVID-19 PCR test?

There are certain rules that are important to follow before submitting biomaterial.

It is prohibited:

• Do not consume alcoholic beverages within 24 hours before testing;
• 12 hours before the diagnosis, use certain medications (for irrigation of the oral cavity, drops and sprays for the nose, painkillers for the throat);
• brush your teeth, use mouthwash;
• eat and drink something two hours before taking the samples (a little purified water is allowed half an hour before if you are very thirsty);
• Do not smoke four hours before the examination;
• use chewing gum, refreshing lozenges.

Only full compliance with the above rules will help to obtain the most accurate COVID-19 testing results and avoid repeated collection of biomaterial.
