Currently, PCR is the diagnostic diagnostic technique. Rapid antibody detection tests, whose reliability has been studied at the National Center for Microbiology with patient samples from various hospitals, complement them. The guidelines for its use are included in the Guide published on the website of the Ministry of Health.
With the use of these rapid antibody detection tests, the use of PCR is optimized, since if the rapid test is positive, the diagnosis is confirmed and the first test will only have to be made if it is negative.
