Hi, I want to know. I got a COVID rapid antigen test after my blood report showed CRP at 52.4. My result was negative. Is this not the final result of my COVID test and do I have to wait for another report? If so, what is the other report if this is negative?

A CRP of 52.4 is high, suggesting ongoing inflammation. A negative RAT is not enough. Please take an RT PCR test to accurately confirm or rule out COVID 19.

Please analyze my COVID 19 IgG antibody test report. The result shows 0.7 AU/mL. I have attached the report for your detailed review.

I am having rashes on my skin, mainly on the neck, thighs, and underarms. I do not have fever, cold, cough, or any other symptom of COVID. Can skin rashes be the only symptom, and should I test for COVID? I already had COVID 6 months ago. It was mild, and I was isolated at home. Please let me know if you have an answer to the above query. Thanks in advance.

Is an x-ray or a CT scan better at diagnosing COVID-19?
