ARREDONDO-BRUCE, Alfredo Enrique e ARREDONDO-RUBIDO, Alfredo Enrique. Novel aspects of SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis of the post COVID era. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2022, vol.44, n.4, pp. 727-738. Epub 31-Ago-2022. ISSN 1684-1824.
Coronaviruses, in a broad sense, are a group of enveloped single-stranded RNA viruses. Despite the intense scrutiny they have been subjected to, it is not still defined why only three coronaviruses-SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV y SARS-CoV-2-have caused serious symptoms and high mortality. The aim of this review is to increase the knowledge on the use of COVID-19 diagnostic tests, so an updated search was carried out on the diagnostic methods of SARS-CoV-2 infection, in the main searchers, besides the information gathered from the different guidelines published in the country on the confrontation of this pandemic. The results suggest that both tests complement themselves by their diagnostic capacity according to the infection time. If a positive result is obtained using either method, the diagnostic is defined. At the entrance of COVID-19 to Cuba, the organization of government management began, mobilizing the most important scientific, technological and professional capacities to confront the pandemic. Therefore, different research institutes and centers, together with the health system, have worked on the creation of COVID diagnostic methods and management. The new stage, known as post COVID era, needs a proper evaluation and use of the tests that confirm the virus presence.
