ATTENTION, CORONA CONTACTS! THE EARLIEST IS THREE DAYS LATER
Infectious diseases and clinical microbiology specialist Assoc. Dr. He said corona virus contacts should be tested for PCR three days later at the earliest.
Ankara University of Health Sciences Gulhane education and Research Hospital infectious diseases and clinical microbiology specialist Assoc. Dr. warned against misleading negativity. Assoc. Dr., recent PCR tests came out negative, mutations can escape the PCR test thrown claims are unfounded, he said:
.
THE DAY OF FIRST CONTACT IS VERY IMPORTANT
– Actually, there is no such thing, even the best PCR method makes an 80 percent diagnosis. But our people have a problem; when a person is positive at home, the day of first contact is important for us. The test should be taken no earlier than three days or on average on the fifth day. For example, when you come into contact with someone at work, if you test immediately on the same day or the next day, you will come back negative, but your corona virus test may turn positive in the following days.
.
NEGATIVE OUTPUT IF A PROPER SAMPLE IS NOT GIVEN
– Without immediate panic, we should definitely have a PCR test after the third day of contact at the earliest. During the process, we also need to allow the process to be performed correctly. If we escape and do not give a proper sample, our test will come back negative, which will delay our treatment in the future, and our disease will progress and lead to applications with advanced lung involvement, which we currently see, especially in young people.
– One person in the same family turns out to be positive, and other people turn out to be negative because they have tested on the same day. Actually, it’s a misleading negative. That person goes out the next day and starts walking around, goes to work, uses public transport, and starts contacting others inside the house. He spreads the virus without realizing it, and his own disease has started and progressed. He was admitted to hospital in an advanced condition because he did not receive treatment because he was’ negative’. We have to do the tests no earlier than Day 3, PCR tests are meaningful after that day, that is, after the third day.
