Is an x-ray or a CT scan better at diagnosing COVID-19?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
X ray has shown poor sensitivity on the contrary, CT scan has shown remarkable sensitivity during the pandemic and has helped healthcare professionals detect and medicate patients suffering from Covid 19
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a Allergy Veg Food Panel Test or Take a ASPERGILLUS IGG ANTIBODY Test

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.

I went to have a COVID test 5 days ago because I had certain symptoms. That day, I was put in a hospital ward with others who had similar symptoms and were admitted after the test. The next day, my test results came back negative. However, I did spend 1 day in that ward. On the discharge slip, doctors advised me to stay in isolation for 10 days, even though my test report was negative. I want to ask if there is a significant chance of getting COVID by staying in a COVID dedicated ward for one day? I wore a surgical mask the whole time. After coming back, I changed my clothes but did not bathe as I was having a fever. Today is the 5th day, and I am a little scared because I read that most patients develop COVID symptoms between days 5 and 10.
