Evaluation of rapid antigen detection kit from the WHO Emergency Use List for detecting SARS-CoV-2

Gannon C. K. Mak et al.

Summary: The Panbio COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test Device showed lower sensitivity compared to RT-PCR, with a clinical sensitivity of 68.6% for detecting specimens from COVID-19 patients. It shared similar performance with another kit from the WHO Emergency Use List, the Standard Q COVID-19 Ag, indicating the importance of understanding the clinical characteristics of RAD kits for guiding testing strategies in different settings.

Evaluation of three rapid lateral flow antigen detection tests for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection

A. E. Jaaskelainen et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the performance of three rapid antigen detection tests, showing high specificity, sensitivity, and agreement. RADTs were found to be less sensitive than RT-PCR, but they offer advantages in terms of testing speed, convenience, and cost compared to RT-PCR. Repeated testing in appropriate settings may improve overall performance.
