Polymerase chain reaction tests – also known as PCR tests – allow pathogenic organisms to be identified by detecting their DNA or RNA. The test works by taking a small sample of DNA and rapidly reproducing it to make a quantity sufficiently large enough to test accurately.
The Amana Care Clinic has expanded its services to include the nose-swab PCR test for COVID-19 to diagnose patients who are currently infected with SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
The PCR test is considered the most accurate and reliable test for diagnosing COVID-19. A positive result means the patient is likely to have COVID-19, and a negative result means the patient most likely did not have COVID-19 at the time of the test.
The process requires collecting a sample of respiratory material using a soft tipped swab inserted into the nose. After collection, the swab is sent to a laboratory, where it is analyzed for the virus. The process is safe and quick, with results available as early as within 24 hours of the sample being taken.
The expansion of the Amana Care Clinic’s COVID-19 testing service is part of the clinic’s overall response to the current pandemic. This includes the recent launch of its online telemedicine service that allows patients to visit a physician or nurse from their homes. It has also updated its website with guidance on how the clinic’s walk-in patients can visit the clinic safely.
The Amana Care Clinic was founded to meet the medical needs of the Davenport neighborhood. It is set up to quickly diagnose and treat a wide range of urgent care needs. Patients can make an in-person appointment in advance or can just walk in. It has state-of-the-art procedure and examination rooms, X-ray facilities, and laboratory equipment.
