    What is COVID -19 RT PCR Test?

    The COVID-19 RT-PCR test is a diagnostic tool designed to identify the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for COVID-19. This molecular test detects the virus’s genetic material (RNA) in a nasal or throat sample. It is primarily used to determine whether an individual is currently infected.

    SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the Beta coronavirus genus and is a single-stranded RNA virus. It spreads via respiratory droplets, contaminated objects, and, in some cases, through aerosol transmission in confined areas. Once inside the body, it binds to receptors in organs such as the lungs and heart, leading to infection. Symptoms vary from mild (tiredness, fever, cough) to severe (pneumonia, breathing difficulties, multi-organ failure), with greater risks for older individuals and those with existing health conditions.

    The test involves collecting a sample from the nasal or throat region, which is then examined in a laboratory to detect viral RNA. A positive test confirms an ongoing infection, whereas a negative test indicates the absence of a detectable virus at the time of sampling.

    For residents of Delhi, at-home COVID-19 RT-PCR testing offers a convenient option with quick sample collection and timely delivery of results.

    COVID -19 RT PCR Test Parameters

    The COVID-19 RT-PCR test examines a single crucial parameter: the presence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.

    This test detects fragments of the virus’s RNA in a sample collected from a person’s nose or throat. Using a process called polymerase chain reaction (PCR), it amplifies the virus’s genetic material, making it easier to identify.

    The test’s accuracy is influenced by the quality of the sample collection and the timing of testing after exposure. Although RT-PCR is highly reliable, errors can occur if the sample is not correctly obtained or handled.

    For hospitalised COVID-19 patients, additional tests may be required to assess overall health. These include a Complete Blood Count (CBC) and a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP). Markers such as ferritin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and D-dimer levels help evaluate inflammation and clotting risks. In severe cases, imaging tests like CT scans and chest X-rays are used to detect lung complications such as pneumonia, though they may not always reveal early signs of infection.

    COVID -19 RT PCR Test Preparation

    Preparing for the COVID-19 RT-PCR Test at home is hassle-free with these steps:

    • Prerequisites : No fasting or special preparation is required before taking the COVID-19 RT-PCR test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: The test can be performed at any time of the day.

    • Who Should Get a COVID RTPCR Test?: Individuals experiencing fever, cough, or breathing difficulties, those who have had close contact with an infected person, and travellers from high-risk regions are advised to get tested. Early detection helps prevent the spread of the virus.

    • Cautions Before Taking a COVID RTPCR Test: There are no specific precautions to follow before undergoing the RT-PCR test.

    Why Take the COVID -19 RT PCR Test?

    The COVID RT-PCR test is recommended in the following instances:

    • Individuals Showing Symptoms: Anyone experiencing fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, sore throat, headache, muscle pain, nausea, or diarrhoea should consider taking the test.

    • High-Risk Groups:

      • People living or working in crowded settings such as dormitories or camps.

      • Those who have recently travelled from areas with ongoing COVID-19 transmission.

      • Medical professionals are regularly exposed to COVID-19 patients.

    • Severe Cases:

      • Individuals with serious lung infections requiring hospitalisation.

      • Those with a high fever (above 38°C) and difficulty breathing.

    COVID-19 RT-PCR testing plays a crucial role in early detection, limiting the spread of infection, and ensuring timely medical intervention.

    • Good service .Instant visits. Only thing is the TAT(time) for some test is like too high, e.g CBC by other labs comes in 2 hrs whereas here with orange lab it is set for 6 hrs. An achievable & relaistic value here would be TAT max 4 hrs from time of collection of sample for the result of CBC to arrive. They should revise their TAT accordingly on app and website.
