Primary Care Physicians warn about the false security that antigen tests can give in many people who are having them because they are going to travel to see their families this Christmas. Tests that, to a large extent, are being carried out in private health centers at a high cost. Those responsible for the health area of A Coruña show their concern and warn about the erroneous or insufficient interpretation that can be made of this type of test.
Antigen tests are efficient if they are done in the first days in which symptoms of a possible case of coronavirus appear, emphasize experts in medicine.
PCRs are the coronavirus detection tests that provide greater security, says Bou. A Coruña is the province with the least seroprevalence in Galicia, specifically 3.8%. The reading made by the head of Microbiology at the Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de A Coruña (CHUAC) is that many active cases have been detected early but that, on the other hand, there is less immunity and consequently, there is a greater risk of infection.
