Concordance of "Rapid" Serological Tests and IgG and IgM Chemiluminescence for SARS-COV-2
Author(s): Sáenz-Flor K* and Santafé Lorena M
Objectives: To evaluate a sample of immunofluorescent and immunochromatographic rapid tests used in Ecuador
to show their agreement in relation to Chemiluminescence.
Setting: Primary care limitations for a sample of “rapid test” assays used for serological diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 in
Ecuador, South-America.
Participants: A diagnostic test evaluation assay was performed to establish the performance of five “rapid” tests for
IgG and IgM serology for SARS-CoV-2 using a panel of 30 serum samples from routine patients.
Interventions: For the evaluation of clinical performance, the qualitative results of the "rapid" tests were compared
against those obtained by chemiluminescence, dichotomized as positives (>10 AU/mL) or negative (<10 UA/mL).
