    Department of Serology Covid-19 Antigen Test: Covid 19 Ag Test, Test Name Result Unit Bio. Ref. Range Method

    Uploaded by

    Pradeep Vunnam
    Mr. Vunnam Pradeep, a 27-year-old male, tested positive for COVID-19 via a nasopharyngeal swab antigen test. The test has moderate sensitivity but high specificity, so a positive result is a true positive. However, the test only provides an initial screening and confirmation by RT-PCR is recommended. A negative result does not rule out infection, as the test may not detect low antigen levels or a poor specimen.

    Comment:
    Comment :

    Covid-19 Ag test is a rapid Immunochromatography test (ICT) for the qualitative detection of specific antigens to SARS-
    CoV-2 present in human nasopharynx.
    This test is recommended to be performed within 6 days after the onset of symptom.
    COVID-19 Ag test has moderate sensitivity (84.38%) but High specificity (100%) therefore, a positive test should be
    considered as a true positive whereas all symptomatic individuals testing negative through the rapid antigen test should be
    confirmed with a real-time PCR test.
    This test is an aid to early diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patient with clinical symptoms.
    It provides only an initial screening test result; confirmation of the SARS-CoV-2 infection should be done by RT-PCR.
    Neither the quantitative value nor the rate of SARS-Cov-2 antigen concentration can be determined by this qualitative test.
    A negative result may occur if the level of extracted antigen in a specimen is below the sensitivity of the tests or if a poor
    quality specimen is obtained.
    A negative result may occur if the concentration of antigen or antibody is below the detection limit of the test or of the
    specimen was collected or transported improperly, therefore the negative result does not eliminate the possibility of SARS-
    CoV-2 infection, and should be confirmed by viral culture or molecular assay or ELISA.
    Positive test does not rule out co-infection with other pathogens.
    Children tend to shed virus for longer periods of time than adults, which may result in differences in sensitivity between adults
    and children.
