Bisnis.com, JAKARTA - The pandemic situation has made a lot of information about Covid-19 spread, one of which is from the many videos that say that if the condition is fever and flu, the results will be positive when swab.However, the information is not correct.dr.Muhamad Fajri Adda'i through his Instagram account @dr.fajriaddai shared information about the full explanation.There are no specific symptoms of Covid-19 disease.Flu symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches, cough, runny nose, stuffy nose, anosmia, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and others, can be experienced by Covid patients.In terms of symptoms alone it is very difficult to distinguish from other infectious diseases.One way to confirm the diagnosis is to examine the swab either Antigen / PCR.The antigen / PCR test used to diagnose Covid-19 is designed to be very specific, which can only detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus.The antigen test examines the nucleocapsid protein and the PCR test examines the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.The specificity of these two tests is very high, around 99-100%, so if the results are positive, there is a 99-100% chance that what is found in the swab sample is the protein / genetic material of the SARS CoV2 virus and is most likely the cause of the flu symptoms experienced.Flu symptoms do not always give positive results when swab antigen / PCR.A positive result indicates the presence of a specific protein/genetic material for the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19 in the sample.Check other News and Articles on Google NewsCheck out other news about the topic of this article, here:Join and get analysis of economic and business information via your email.
