Serological Test for IgG and Covid-19 Antibodies

Before getting the test

a patient is required to wear a mask when getting the test in our laboratory.

What is the serological test for?

The Covid-19 serological test allows us to recognize whether a patient may have recovered from the Covid-19 virus or if the virus may still be active, but only when a certain time period has passed since the moment of possible exposure to the virus.

When do the antibodies to Covid-19 appear?

After the infection our body generates type Igm antibodies. According to different studies they appear between day 5 and 7 after the infection, however the test detects them better on days 8 to 14. Subsequently, between days 15 to 21 the IgG antibodies appear.

Test results

IgM and IgG negative: the patient does not have the virus, however a PCR test would be recommended in case it may be too early for the antibodies to appear.
IgM negative and IgG positive: the patient has already recovered from the virus.
Igm and IgG positive: active phase of the infection.
IgM positive and IgG negative: an early state of the infection and it is recommended to take a PCR test to confirm the infection.
