Article Synopsis
- The Panbio COVID-19/Flu A&B Panel is a rapid diagnostic test that detects SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A and B proteins from nasal swab samples taken from symptomatic individuals.
- This study is the largest of its kind, involving over 1,600 participants across multiple continents to evaluate the test's sensitivity and specificity compared to a standard assay using nasopharyngeal swabs.
- The results showed that the Panbio test has high sensitivity (around 80-94%) and specificity (over 99%) for detecting COVID-19 and influenza, making it a reliable option for quick diagnosis in various populations.
