- Qualitative SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests are effective for mass COVID-19 diagnosis but are less sensitive than RT-PCR tests, while quantitative assays have the potential to enhance performance and examine various sample types.
- A study tested 26 patients and found N-antigen present in respiratory, plasma, and urine samples, with RNA only detected in respiratory and some plasma samples.
- The study concluded that urine N-antigen testing could aid in late-stage COVID-19 diagnosis and monitoring, due to its non-invasive nature and the prolonged presence of antigen in urine.
