Diagnostic accuracy of five mpox lateral flow assays for antigen detection, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Switzerland

2026-01-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Mpox has spread to 35 countries in Africa, yet many face challenges achieving nationwide PCR-based testing due to cost and limited access in remote and rural areas. Point-of-care antigen-based rapid diagnostic tests (AgRDTs) may help improve diagnostic access. <h4>Objectives</h4> To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of five mpox AgRDTs manufactured by Beijing Hotgen Biotech (China), Contipharm...
