I recently had a bit of fever and a sore throat, so I tested myself for COVID 19 antibodies. Could you please help me understand my test report and advise on what it means? I have attached the report for your reference.

COVID 19 IgG positive means past exposure or vaccination. Negative means no antibodies. This test alone cannot diagnose active infection. For current symptoms, consult a doctor and consider RTPCR if needed.

Does a normal Covid test identify which variant it is?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

About a month ago, I had a throat infection that lasted for 25 days. My doctor said it was a viral infection and did not recommend any tests. After I recovered, I decided to do a COVID antibody test on my own. The report shows IgG negative but total antibodies positive. I am now feeling fine. Does this mean I had a COVID infection, or can other viral infections also show total antibodies positive? Was my doctor wrong in diagnosing it as a non COVID viral infection?

Hi, We took a chest X ray and blood report. We need suggestions on whether she has COVID 19. If she does, should she be admitted to the hospital or can stay in home quarantine? Her CRP value is 14.
