Abstract

Awareness of SARS CoV-2 diagnostic testing is still in hit-and-trial phases all over the world. Usage for SARS-CoV-2 infections Reverse Transcriptase - Polymerase Chain Reaction (rTPCR) and IgM/IgG serology by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) or Electro Chemiluminescent Immunoassay remains the main diagnosis stay, advancing day by day through ongoing study and comprehensive trials. However, in both children and adults, the time course for PCR positivity and seroconversion continues to differ, which often involves a large population of asymptomatic individuals that are theoretically considered negative, posing a significant threat to the local group.
