Hawthorn Healing Arts has exciting news…
We now offer the Antibody Test from US Biotek COVID-19.
This test can serve as a valuable tool in the fight against the disease by identifying individuals with recent or prior exposure to the virus.
The test is performed on a highly sensitive chemiluminescent platform that accurately detects IgM and IgG antibodies to the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the virus known to cause COVID-19.
High levels of IgM antibodies tend to indicate recent exposure, and may help to confirm COVID-19 in patients showing symptoms. And also indicate a longer-term exposure and is considered by many to be an indicator of immunity.
The vast majority of individuals (estimates of 80%) exposed to and infected by this new coronavirus have experienced mild symptoms, or those that could be confused with a cold or flu.
Because of this, many have been wondering, “Have I already been exposed? Was that infection I had earlier this year actually Covid-19?”
This test will help answer these questions.
If you are interested in having this testing performed, call our office to schedule an appointment for a blood-draw with Dr. Phillips: 541 330 0334
