COVID-19 Testing | What you should know?
 

Currently, real-time molecular biology test RT-PCR and rapid test for SARS-CoV-2 virus antigen are two methods that the Ministry of Health has approved to diagnose COVID-19. However, each method has different effects. Therefore, depending on circumstances, proper tests will be applied.

When performing the test, there are some new cases, the amount of virus that has not yet multiplied in large numbers that show negative test result while they already have the disease. Or there are many other cases where the test results are harmful for the first 2-3 times, and the next time is favorable.

So, which test method should be applied to get accurate results?

MASKED HYPERTENSION
Masked hypertension refers to a condition where a patient’s blood pressure (BP) appears normal (below 140/90 mmHg) when measured in a clinical setting but exceeds the threshold of 135/85 mmHg when measured outside the clinic, such as at home or with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) over 24 hours. The concern with masked hypertension is that it often goes unnoticed, yet it poses significant health risks. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications such as kidney failure, vision loss, heart failure, and an increased risk of stroke.
