ER-Rx: An ER + ICU Podcast - Episode 14- SARS-CoV-2 antibody test

Transcript

Hello and welcome to Episode 14 of ER-Rx. Well, we finally got to this point. I’m doing my first COVID-related episode, and instead of rehashing the almost hourly barrage of information on treatments, morbidity, and mortality, I wanted to focus on something you can hopefully find useful for yourself and your patients. This week, we discuss the SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody test and what its results mean in different settings. I recently got my antibody results and it came back negative.
