FAQ COVID-19

This is a test used to detect the presence in the blood of antibodies produced by the immune system following an infection with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) or following vaccination.

This medical analysis has several advantages:
 To diagnose:

• An acute infection in addition to PCR testing
  •  A previous infection among patients not benefiting from a PCR test at the time symptoms appeared or where the PCR test result was negative
• To know one's immune status vis-à-vis the virus, especially as asymptomatic infections are frequent.
  •  To characterise the immune response following vaccination

Please note: in the case of an one-off prescription, this test does not allow a person's contagiousness to be assessed (in the absence of a prior infection proved by the PCR test).

This analysis can be done with or without a prescription.

  The price of the COVID-19 serological test is €37,94 (analysis €32.71 and blood test €5.23):
