Rapid antigen test with phlegm is more sensitive and detects SARS-CoV-2 earlier than with nasal swab

2023-01-25

Abstract excerpt

Omicron is the current variant of SARS-CoV-2. It has high transmissibility and evades human immunity. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for therapy, prognosis, and curbing the spread of the virus. Here we reported a new sampling method for the rapid antigen test, with specimens from phlegm, instead of from nasal swabs. Sensitivities in detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen were compared within the two specimens,...
