Performance characteristics of INDICAID antigen rapid diagnostic test on SARS-CoV-2 samples during the omicron wave in Cameroon

20242 citationsOpen accessUniversité de Yaoundé I

Abstract

For patients infected with high viral loads (CT < 25), INDICAID™ Ag-RDT has high intrinsic (sensitivity and specificity) and extrinsic (predictive values) performances for COVID-19 diagnosis. Due to its simplicity and short turnaround time, INDICAID™ Ag-RDT is, therefore a reliable tool to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at community level in the current era of Omicron subvariants.
