The PCR test is a test that detects the presence of the virus genetic material.<\/span><\/span> It is a test that replicates the virus genome, a method that allows detecting a fragment of the genetic material of a pathogen.<\/span><\/span> The PCR test achieves the detection of coronavirus early in the early stages of the infectious process, regardless of whether there are still no symptoms or will not develop them, as in the case of asymptomatic people.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In Rio-Hortega Clinic we have the necessary means to guarantee the results of the PCR tests in less than 12 hours.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How are the results of my PCR analyzed?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The PCR is a process by which a sample is obtained through a nasopharyngeal exudate whose content is analyzed in the laboratory.<\/span><\/span> Polyclinic of the River-Hortega collaborates with IMED <\/a>hospitals for this analysis process and it is thanks to this collaboration so that the results are so fast and have a very high efficiency.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once the sample is in the laboratory, the virus is inactive exposing the sample at a temperature of 96 degrees for 15 minutes.<\/span><\/span> Then, the genetic material is extracted and introduced manually into the thermocycler<\/strong>, which contain their own reagents, and that is where the polymerase chain reaction<\/strong>, known as PCR<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span>In this part of the process is where the results can be interpreted to know if the person is positive or negative.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Does a positive PCR sample mean that a patient is infectious?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

A positive PCR sample indicates that the patient is at that time infected by the virus<\/strong> and is likely to infect others.<\/span><\/span> Including asymptomatics, which although they have not developed symptoms are also infected and can infect others although it is known that the ability to spread is lower.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Why have there been cases of false negatives on PCRs?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The known as “false negatives” in the results of the PCR tests are due, in the vast majority of cases, to a taking of the sample carried out in a erroneous way or that it was carried out at a time that was not adequate, that is, too soon or too late.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Performing this test in a specialized clinic or hospital<\/strong> and in a prudential time after having been in contact with a positive or manifesting symptoms, these errors in the results should not be caused.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Do I have to isolate myself at home after doing a PCR test?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

According to your situation<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span> If you have been in contact with a positive person in COVID-19 or have manifested symptoms related to the disease, you should confine yourself at your home and notify your health center, whatever the result of the PCR test.<\/span><\/span> If the test is done to be able to make a trip or for another similar reason you do not have to.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14314","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicadelriohortega.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicadelriohortega.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicadelriohortega.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicadelriohortega.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicadelriohortega.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14314"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/clinicadelriohortega.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14317,"href":"https:\/\/clinicadelriohortega.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14314\/revisions\/14317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicadelriohortega.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
