SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test can supplement the nucleic acid amplification method.
We calculated the sensitivity and specificity of the GenBody COVID-19 antigen assay using 155 nasopharyngeal specimens.
The sensitivity in samples with their respective cycle thresholds varied from 33.3% to 100%; the sensitivity of the antigen assay was inferior to that of the gold standard polymerase chain reaction test.
Considering the relatively fast speed of the antigen test and high sensitivity at a low cycle threshold value indicating a high viral load, the GenBody COVID-19 antigen test can be an easy and quick measure for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in individuals with high viral loads.
SARS-CoV-2 快速抗原检测可以补充核酸扩增方法。
我们使用 155 份鼻咽标本计算了 GenBody COVID-19 抗原检测的灵敏度和特异性。
在各自循环阈值的样本中，灵敏度从 33.3%到 100%不等；抗原检测的灵敏度低于金标准聚合酶链反应检测。
考虑到抗原检测的速度相对较快，并且在低循环阈值下具有较高的灵敏度，表明病毒载量较高，GenBody COVID-19 抗原检测可以作为一种简便、快速的检测方法，用于检测病毒载量较高的个体中的 SARS-CoV-2。
