Evaluation of the test accuracy of a SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test in symptomatic community dwelling individuals in the Netherlands
Background SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is well suited for the diagnosis of clinically ill patients requiring treatment. Application for community testing of symptomatic individuals for disease control purposes however raises challenges. SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen tests might offer an alternative, but quality evidence on their performance is limited. Methods We conducted an evaluation of the test accuracy of the ‘BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2’ (VRD) compared to qRT-PCR on combined nose/throat swabs obtained from symptomatic...
