The Panbio COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test: Which Performances are for COVID-19 Diagnosis?

Background: Rapid antigen detection assays are promising tools for the diagnosis of COVID-19. We assess the performances of the Panbio COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test.

Methods: The Panbio COVID-19 Ag Rapid test was compared to a reference RT-PCR performed on the same nasopharyngeal swab (NPS).

SARS-CoV-2 screening of asymptomatic health care workers: experience of a General hospital.

Health care workers (HCWs) are at major risk to be infected by SARS-CoV-2 and transmit the virus to the patients. Furthermore, travels are a major factor in the diffusion of the virus. We report our experience regarding the screening of asymptomatic HCWs returning from holidays, following the issue of a national guideline on 08/20/2020.

An Immunogenicity Report for the Comparison between Heterologous and Homologous Prime-Boost Schedules with ChAdOx1-S and BNT162b2 Vaccines.

Background: There is a small amount of immunological data on COVID-19 heterologous vaccination schedules in humans. We assessed the immunogenicity of BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech) administered as a second dose in healthcare workers primed with ChAdOx1-S (Vaxzevria, AstraZeneca).

Methods: 197 healthcare workers were included in a monocentric observational study in Foch hospital, France, between June and July 2021.
