- Overview of Testing for SARS-CoV-2 | COVID-19 | CDC
Positive viral test results indicate current infection and the person with COVID-19 should take steps to prevent spreading COVID-19 to others Negative viral test results mean the test did not detect the virus, but this doesn't rule out that the person could have an infection These results represent a snapshot of the time around specimen
- Testing for COVID-19 | COVID-19 | CDC - Centers for Disease Control and . . .
A single NAAT test can be used to confirm an antigen test result *Self-tests, or at-home tests, are antigen tests that can be taken anywhere without having to go to a specific testing site Read self-test package inserts thoroughly and follow the instructions closely when performing the test When you get tested
- Fit Testing | Personal Protective Equipment | CDC
The test is a pass fail test that determines whether you can detect a test agent, such as through taste, smell, or an involuntary cough The OSHA-accepted fit test protocols provide complete instructions for conducting qualitative fit tests with the accepted test agents NIOSH does not endorse or recommend the use of the irritant smoke fit test
- Clinical Testing and Diagnosis for Tuberculosis
It is the only kind of TB skin test solution that is FDA-approved for this test method After 48–72 hours, the skin test reaction must be examined by a trained health care worker The health care worker measures any swelling where the tuberculin was injected to determine if the reaction to the test is positive or negative
- Waived Tests | Laboratory Quality | CDC
Waived tests include test systems cleared by the FDA for home use and those approved for waiver under the CLIA criteria While CLIA requires waived tests to be simple and low-risk, they are not completely error-proof Errors can occur in testing if manufacturer's instructions are not followed or if personnel are unfamiliar with the test system
- Laboratory Testing for Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)
Monospot test The Monospot test is not recommended for general use The antibodies detected by Monospot can be caused by conditions other than infectious mononucleosis Moreover, studies have shown that the Monospot produces both false positive and false negative results
- Genetic Testing | Genomics and Your Health | CDC
Whole genome sequencing is the largest genetic test and looks at all of a person's DNA, not just the genes Your healthcare provider might recommend exome sequencing or whole genome sequencing if you or your child has a complex medical condition, or if other testing has not found a genetic cause for a disease or condition
- Guidelines and Recommendations | HIV Partners | CDC
The 2017 technical update provides information on the use of the Alere Determine HIV 1 2 Ag Ab Combo single use rapid test (Determine) in laboratories where it is not feasible to conduct an instrumented antigen antibody test as the initial test in the algorithm
- Clinical Testing Guidance for Tuberculosis: Tuberculin Skin Test
If the TB skin test is used for baseline testing of U S health care personnel, use two-step testing Two-step testing If the first TB skin test result is negative, a second TB skin test should be done 1 to 3 weeks later If the second TB skin test result is positive, it is probably a boosted reaction
- Laboratory Testing for Pertussis | Whooping Cough | CDC
CDC serologic test CDC and the Food and Drug Administration developed a serologic assay that has been useful for confirming diagnosis, especially during suspected pertussis outbreaks A few state public health laboratories have included this assay as part of their testing regimen for pertussis
