Viable Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Isolates Exhibit Higher Correlation With Rapid Antigen Assays Than Subgenomic RNA or Genomic RNA
Background: Rapid identification and effective isolation are crucial for curbing the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To meet this requirement, antigen-detection rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) are essential.Methods: Between February 2020 and August 2020 we pe...

Serial respiratory samples were obtained 2 days prior to symptom onset (-2) up to 25 days post-symptom onset. Overall, for rRT-PCR-positive samples (n = 51), the detection sensitivity of Ag rapid FIA and Ag Gold was 74.5% and 53.49%, respectively, with a specificity of 100%; however, for samples with low cycle threshold (Ct) values, Ag rapid FIA and Ag Gold exhibited a sensitivity of 82.61% (Ct ≤ 30, 5.6 log10RNA copies/mL) and 80% (Ct ≤ 25, 6.9 log10RNA copies/mL), respectively.
