SARS-CoV-2 Diagnostic Panel Test: Cost, Symptoms, and Diagnosis
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc around the world, the need for accurate and reliable diagnostic tests has never been greater. The SARS-CoV-2 Diagnostic Panel Test is one such test that has gained popularity in India due to its high accuracy and quick results. In this blog, we will discuss the cost of the test, the symptoms of COVID-19, and the diagnosis process.
What is the SARS-CoV-2 Diagnostic Panel Test?
The SARS-CoV-2 Diagnostic Panel Test is a molecular diagnostic test that detects the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in a person’s respiratory tract. The test is performed using a sample of the patient’s nasal or throat swab. The test uses a technique called reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to amplify the genetic material of the virus and detect its presence.
Cost of the Test
The cost of the SARS-CoV-2 Diagnostic Panel Test in India is INR 4446. This cost may vary depending on the location and the laboratory performing the test. Many private laboratories offer the test, and some government hospitals also provide the test free of cost.
Symptoms of COVID-19
The symptoms of COVID-19 can vary from person to person. Some people may experience mild symptoms, while others may develop severe symptoms. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 include:
- Fever
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Body aches
- Loss of smell or taste
It is important to note that some people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus may not experience any symptoms at all. However, they can still spread the virus to others.
Diagnosis of COVID-19
The diagnosis of COVID-19 is based on a combination of symptoms, exposure history, and laboratory test results. If you experience any of the symptoms listed above or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Your healthcare provider may order a SARS-CoV-2 Diagnostic Panel Test to confirm the presence of the virus. The test is performed using a nasal or throat swab, and the results are usually available within a few hours to a few days.
