How much coronary antibody testing is needed.

 

Many people in the country have already been vaccinated against corona.  Has the body developed the ability to resist the virus?  Have the necessary antibodies been made in the blood?  Whether there is any need for antibody testing.  Many people think that there are many such questions going on now.

Antibodies are part of the body's immune system.  It fights against germs.  These antibodies are made in the body not only after vaccination but also after coronary heart disease.  Antibodies are made with proteins.  Having antibodies in the blood before the germs enter the body builds resistance.  If antibodies are not already present in the body, antibodies are made after the infection.  It takes a certain amount of time, of course.

 In some cases, once the body produces antibodies, it protects them for life.  Again in some infectious diseases the antibodies decrease over time.  After a certain period of time there is a risk of contracting the same disease again.

According to an international study, only 37 percent of coronary antibody tests give accurate results.  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not given much importance to antibody testing.  Because of the presence of antibodies, the extent of protection against coronary heart disease cannot be determined by this test.  In addition, there is a risk of wrong results.  If the falls are positive and due to this, the risk of reverse infection can be increased.  Meanwhile, anyone can become infected with corona and remain asymptomatic even after the antibody is positive.  This can spread the infection to many patients without their knowledge.

Scientists say that antibodies alone cannot control the infection.  Overall nutrition, immunity and many other factors combine to develop immunity against any infection.  Again, after vaccination or after infection, in addition to antibodies, a kind of cell-based immunity develops, which cannot be understood by measuring antibodies.

 Antibody test results are not the last word or it is not necessary.  The most important thing right now is to get vaccinated, wear a mask, follow hygiene rules, and avoid public gatherings as much as possible.
