At Deiktis Ygeias, we always stress the importance of prevention. Testing for the detection of corona virus antibodies can show if you have been infected by the virus in the past, even without developing symptoms. The antibodies develop and can be detected in the body two or three weeks after the infection.
SARS-CoV-2 IgG ANTIBODIES: Sensitivity: 80% (for samples taken >10 days after manifestation of symptoms). Specificity: 98.5 %.
SARS-CoV-2 IgA ANTIBODIES: Sensitivity: 100 % (for samples taken >10 days after manifestation of symptoms). Specificity: 92.5 %.
SARS-CoV-2 IgM ANTIBODIES: Sensitivity: 78,7 %. Specificity: 97.5 %.
Remark:
Simultaneous detection of the various antibodies increases the reliability of the test.
