- The procedure is quick and easy to perform and only takes a few minutes.
- When completed, you just have to wait 20 minutes to get the result (positive or negative).
The results obtained therefore allow the identification of the viral nucleoprotein antigen of SARS-CoV-2 which is generally detectable in nasopharyngeal and nasal secretions during the acute phase of the infection. Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but clinical correlation with the patient’s history and other diagnostic information is needed to determine the status of the infection.
If the results are positive, the person may have a bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definitive cause of the disease. Laboratories are required to report all positive results to the appropriate public health authorities. Negative results should be treated as presumptions and do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions, including decisions infection control. Negative results should be considered in the context of a patient’s recent exposures, history and presence of clinical signs and symptoms compatible with COVID-19, and confirmed by molecular testing, if necessary, for the management of the patient.
