A SARS-CoV-2 negative antigen rapid diagnostic in RT-qPCR positive samples correlates with a low likelihood of infectious viruses in the nasopharynx

2022-03-20

Abstract excerpt

SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs even among fully vaccinated individuals; thus, prompt identification of infected patients is central to control viral circulation. Antigen rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDT) are highly specific, but sensitivity is variable.Discordant RT-qPCR vs Ag-RDT results are reported, raising the question of whether negative Ag-RDT in positive RT-qPCR samples could imply the absence of infectious v...
