Background SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) are increasingly being
integrated in testing strategies around the world. Studies of the Ag-RDTs have shown …

Background Comprehensive information about the accuracy of antigen rapid diagnostic
tests (Ag-RDTs) for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is …

Immunoassays designed to detect SARS-CoV-2 protein antigens are now commercially
available. The most widely used tests are rapid lateral flow assays that generate results in …

We assessed the relationship between antigen and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) test
positivity and successful virus isolation. We found that antigen test results were more …

Objective To systematically assess the diagnostic accuracy of rapid point-of-care tests for
diagnosis of current SARS-CoV-2 infections in children under real-life conditions. Design …

Point-of-care antigen tests are an important tool for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Antigen tests are
less sensitive than real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (rRT-PCR). Data on the performance …

Background Home-based rapid diagnostic testing can play an integral role in controlling the
spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Objectives This review aimed to identify …

Background Performance characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests among children are
limited despite the need for point-of-care testing in school and childcare settings. We …

Background Before the COVID-19 pandemic, RADTs for respiratory viruses were historically
associated with suboptimal test performance. This was dramatically illustrated during the …

The COVID-19 pandemic has entailed simultaneous revolutions in virology diagnostics,
clinical trials management, and antiviral therapy and vaccinology. Over the past year, SARS …
