La presente publicación describe la evidencia científica disponible sobre la precisión diagnóstica de las pruebas rápidas de detección de antígenos para SARS-COV-2. El conocimiento de las pruebas diagnósticas para el coronavirus del síndrome respiratorio agudo grave 2 (SARS-COV-2) sigue evo...lucionando, y una comprensión clara de la naturaleza de las pruebas y la interpretación de sus hallazgos es importante. Este punto de vista describe cómo interpretar 2 tipos de pruebas diagnósticas comúnmente en uso para las infecciones SARS-COV-2: reacción en cadena de polimerasa con transcriptasa reversa (RT-PCR) y ensayo por inmunoabsorción ligado a enzimas IgM e IgG (ELISA)— y cómo los resultados pueden variar con el tiempo.

In diesem Bericht untersucht der Unabhängige Experte, inwiefern lesbische, schwule, bisexuelle, transgeschlechtliche und diversgeschlechtliche Menschen nach wie vor durch diskriminierende Rechtsvorschriften und soziokulturelle Normen im Bildungswesen, in der Gesundheits-und W...ohnraumversorgung, in der Arbeitswelt sowie in anderen Bereichen marginalisiert und ausgegrenzt werden. Darüber hinaus betrachtet der Unabhängige Experte das Thema Inklusion und den Zugang zu den entsprechenden Rechten unter dem Aspekt der Intersektionalität und analysiert die verstärkende Diskriminierung, die zu Ausgrenzung und Marginalisierung führt.

Terminology used to describe the transmission of pathogens through the air varies across scientific disciplines, organizations and the general public. While this has been the case for decades, during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the terms ‘airborne’, ‘airborne transmission’ a...nd ‘aerosol transmission’ were used in different ways by stakeholders in different scientific disciplines, which may have contributed to misleading information and confusion about how pathogens are transmitted in human populations.
This global technical consultation report brings together viewpoints from experts spanning a range of disciplines with the key objective of seeking consensus regarding the terminology used to describe the transmission of pathogens through the air that can potentially cause infection in humans.
This consultation aimed to identify terminology that could be understood and accepted by different technical disciplines. The agreed process was to develop a consensus document that could be endorsed by global agencies and entities. Despite the complex discussions and challenges, significant progress was made during the consultation process, particularly the consensus on a set of descriptors to describe how pathogens are transmitted through the air and the related modes of transmission. WHO recognizes the important areas where consensus was not achieved and will continue to address these areas in follow-up consultations.
