Ag-testing for #COVID19 is much debated. Some believe it will solve almost everything while most clinical microbiologists stay skeptical. I did a non-exhaustive literature search and summarize findings here. Short thread. #testaaminen #TestCovid
My first question: has this been studied? Answer is, yes, a bit. Cochrane did a meta-analysis of point-of-care tests for #COVID19 and could include 5 studies on ag-tests. cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.10…
Major finding of the above Cochrane review is that studies are mostly small with huge variation in methodology. I skip specificity altogether and focus on sensitivity since that IMHO is the most important metric when considering epidemic control.
