SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test Sensitivity and Viral Load in Freshly Symptomatic Hospital Employees, December 2020 to February 2022

2022-05-03

Abstract excerpt

Evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants and changing levels of pre-existing immunity require re-evaluation of rapid antigen test performance. In hospital employees in Berlin, Germany, from late 2020 to early 2022, we found decreasing rapid antigen test sensitivity over time, from 80% to 67%, despite a 5·6 fold increase in median viral RNA concentrations in symptomatic employees early in their infection course. These changes...
