[Evaluation of two COVID-19 antigenic diagnostic tests: and compared to ].

Introduction: the COVID-19 pandemic causes biological diagnostic problems that remain relevant in low-income countries in general and in Cameroon in particular. Rapids tests that reliably detect SARS-CoV-2 virus antigen present themselves as an important alternative in several contexts. The objective of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of two rapid diagnostic tests BIOSYNEX COVID-19 Ag BSS and BIOSYNEX COVID-19 Ag + BSS, compared to each other and to the AmpliQuick SARS-CoV-2 PCR test.

Comparative analysis of two molecular tests for the detection of COVID-19 in Cameroon.

Introduction: COVID-19 equation in Cameroon is yet to be resolved. There is an urgent need for a rapid response strategy to the increasing demand of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results for both patients, travelers and competitors to various games. We assessed the diagnostic performance of the AmpliQuick® SARS-CoV-2 against the classic Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
