Algorithms for testing COVID-19 focused on use of RT-PCR and high-affinity serological testing: A consensus statement from a panel of Latin American experts

Abstract: This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article. Please note that, during the production process, errors may be discovered which could affect the content, a… Show more

“…In total, 11 EB-CPGs ( 14 , 20 , 21 , 24 , 26 , 30 , 34 , 36 , 42 , 43 , 51 ) and 7 CB-CPGs ( 32 , 33 , 44 , 46 , 48 , 49 , 52 ) reported the diagnostic criteria for COVID-19 (See Table 3 ). The diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection was mainly based on RT-PCR test, serum-specific antibodies IgM and IgG test, epidemiological history, and clinical manifestations in one EB-CPG ( 34 ) and one CB-CPG ( 46 ).…”

“…The diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection was mainly based on RT-PCR test, serum-specific antibodies IgM and IgG test, epidemiological history, and clinical manifestations in one EB-CPG ( 34 ) and one CB-CPG ( 46 ). However, nine EB-CPGs ( 14 , 20 , 21 , 24 , 26 , 30 , 36 , 43 , 51 ) and six CB-CPGs ( 32 , 33 , 44 , 48 , 49 , 52 ) only focus on one or two of the above criteria. Three CPGs (two EB-CPGs, one CB-CPG) ( 20 , 26 , 32 ) did not suggest SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests for diagnosis of current infection with COVID-19 or as the sole basis or to routinely to diagnose active COVID-19 in symptomatic pregnant women with negative RT-PCR.…”

“…• En el caso de la implementación de campañas de vacunación y aplicación de vacuna, el que tuvo mejor puntuación fue Brasil, con tan solo 0.54 puntos; le siguió Rusia, que aun siendo el único país de la lista en desarrollar una vacuna con autorización de aplicación, no es el mejor de estos tres, con tan solo 0.49 puntos (Ferreira et al, 2021).…”

“…Por otro lado, la especificidad de casi el 100 % de esta prueba se debe a que se basa en la identificación de secuencias propias del genoma del SARS-CoV-2 (4) . En el contexto de una pandemia, en los pacientes sintomáticos con resultado RT-PCR negativo se debe considerar repetir la prueba RT-PCR además de investigar otras infecciones respiratorias; mientras que en caso de existir sintomatología y una prueba negativa se debería evaluar el uso de un panel de virus respiratorios (5) . Por otro lado, en personas asintomáticas que han tenido contacto con un caso confirmado de COVID-19 es recomendable realizarse la RT-PCR después de 5 días del contacto (4) .…”
