We perform PCR testing for COVID-2019 by swab<\/strong> outside of our office premises in a safe environment at our testing site. If symptoms are present and the test is indicated, PCR by means of a smear test is a service provided by health insurance companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Here we inform you and answer your questions about Corona Virus in Munich.<\/h3>\n

Dr. Markus Fr\u00fchwein, as an expert in dealing with the coronavirus(to press<\/a>), is your contact for questions about the disease.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Can I have a PCR test for COVID-2019 done at the practice of Dr. Fr\u00fchwein & Partner?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Yes. We offer the possibility of PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2 as part of a smear test by appointment. The test directly detects the virus. It is currently the most conclusive test regarding the risk of infection.<\/p>\n

The testing takes place outside our practice premises:

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Can I have an antibody test for SARS-CoV-2 done at the practice of Dr. Fr\u00fchwein & Partner?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Yes. We perform the test in the practice and determine IgG and IgM antibodies qualitatively. Antibody detection is an important diagnostic tool to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection retrospectively as well.<\/p>\n

The test is not suitable for the detection of an acute infection. In this case, determination by direct PCR detection of the SARS-CoVs pathogen in a throat swab should be performed.<\/p>\n

Since antibodies can only be detected with a delay after the onset of symptoms, we recommend that antibody testing be carried out from four weeks after possible contact with an infected person and at the earliest two weeks after the onset of symptoms.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Am I safely protected against the disease if antibodies have been detected?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

To date, it is believed that having been through infection provides some protection against re-infection by SARS-CoV-2. However, how long and how safe this protection is needs to be further researched.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Can retesting be useful if I tested negative?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

If corona-typical symptoms persist and a corresponding suspicion of risk is present, renewed PCR testing may be useful. If, after a negative test, you have had a new contact with someone who is definitely infected and\/or have been in an area at risk in the last 14 days, and you have symptoms, then it is safe to assume that you are infected. Quarantine is advisable here and testing according to the current recommendation is useful.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
