Corona symptoms should be checked three days after it appears, haste can lead to incorrect results
Washington, Ta. 11 June 2020, Thursday
If a person is infected with Covid-19 and is diagnosed at an early stage, the result may be that he or she is not infected, but in fact the person has been infected. One study claims that more accurate results are obtained if the virus is detected three days after symptoms appear. The study was published in the journal Knowledge of Internal Medicine.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in the United States analyzed 1,330 samples of oral saliva from several other patients, including hospitalized patients. According to Lauren Cursica, co-author of the study, "Whether or not a person shows symptoms but not being infected does not guarantee that the person is not infected with the virus." "If the person is not infected in the report, we believe it is a true investigation, but it puts other people's lives at risk."
Scientists say patients who are more likely to be infected with the corona virus should be treated as infected, especially if they have symptoms corresponding to Covid-19. Patients should also be told about the shortcomings of the test, according to scientists.
Researchers estimate that more than 67 percent of those who are diagnosed four days after being infected are likely not to be infected even though they are infected. According to the researchers, the most appropriate time to check for corona virus infection is eight days after the infection, which can be an average of three days after the onset of symptoms.
