How Sensitive and Specific are Rapid Antigen Tests for SARS-CoV-2 – The Experience of One of the Biggest Bulgarian Hospitals

Rapid point-of-care tests that detect antigens specific for SARS-CoV-2 are less expensive and faster than the standard molecular methods. However, their accuracy varies widely between tests, populations and settings. We decided to assess the diagnostic precision of antigen tests for SARS-CoV-2 in a...
