The COVID-19 RT-PCR test is a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in upper and lower respiratory specimens.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a Anti-Nmo (Neuromyelitis Optica ) Antibody / Aquaporin 4 Test or Take a ANTI HELICOBACTER PYLORI IGM Test
