Antibiotic use & COVID-19
As COVID-19 is caused by a virus, antibiotics are ineffective unless there is a bacterial infection1.
Bacteria-based diseases like Legionella and pneumonia present symptoms that can be similar to those from COVID-191, but the treatments are different. A simultaneous use of COVID-19 tests, as well as other test, should be considered to ensure correct treatment.
A rapid option is Immuview® S. pneumoniae & Legionella Urinary Antigen Test as it allows professionals to quickly determine an appropriate course of action.
