The COVID-19 pandemic yielded important advances in testing for respiratory viruses, but it also exposed important unmet needs in screening to prevent the spread of infections in high-risk settings.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. As the federal health emergency ended May 11 and COVID numbers are on the rise, here’s how you can still access tests, at-home and ...

The COVID-19 pandemic led to many changes. Among them is universal familiarity with a molecular diagnostic technique that was largely unknown outside clinical use. The polymerase chain reaction — or ...

These tests have very limited clinical use. The need for antibody testing would be to determine if a patient has recovered from COVID-19, and whether we could take a sample of the patient’s plasma to ...

Because of its high accuracy, laboratory-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is the gold standard for infectious disease diagnostics. However, PCR technology requires highly trained staff ...

Over the past four years, many of us have become accustomed to a swab up the nose to test for COVID-19, using at-home rapid antigen tests or the more accurate clinic-provided PCR tests with a longer ...
