Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). Coronavirus disease
(COVID-19) is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans. Common signs of
infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection
can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome and kidney failure.
Note
1. Negative result does not rule out the possibility of Covid -19 infection. Presence of inhibitors, mutations & insufficient
RNA specific to SARS-CoV-2 can influence the test result. Kindly correlate the results with clinical findings. A negative
result in a single upper respiratory tract sample does not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection. Hence in such cases a repeat
sample should be sent. Lower respiratory tract samples like Sputum, BAL, ET aspirate are appropriate samples especially
in severe and progressive lung disease.
2. Covid-19 Test conducted as per kits approved by ICMR / CE-IVD / USFDA.
3. Kindly consult referring Physician / Authorized hospitals for appropriate follow up.
4. Test conducted on Nasopharyngeal & Oropharyngeal Swabs
5. This is a qualitative test. The Ct values do not provide a measure of viral load due to inherent variability in sampling and kits.
According to ICMR guidelines Ct values should not be used to gauge the severity of the disease.
