Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in March 2020, led to the development of various testing methods and antiviral medications to combat the disease and its severe impacts on global health.
- A study conducted on 556 oncology patients at Augusta Victoria Hospital aimed to assess the sensitivity and specificity of the Panbio rapid antigen test, finding a sensitivity of 69.9% and a perfect specificity of 100%.
- Results showed that lower cycle threshold (Ct) values were linked to higher detection rates of the virus, with significant statistical evidence indicating that the PCR test is more sensitive than the rapid antigen test.
