Real‐life evaluation of a rapid extraction‐free SARS‐CoV‐2 RT‐PCR assay (COVID‐19 PCR Fast‐L) for the diagnosis of COVID‐19 (original) (raw)

2021, Journal of Medical Virology

AI-generated Abstract

Timely diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection is crucial to controlling COVID-19. This study evaluates the performance of a rapid extraction-free RT-PCR assay, COVID-19 PCR Fast-L, compared to a standard method, analyzing 662 patients with suspected COVID-19. The assay demonstrated a positive percent agreement of 85% and a negative percent agreement of 100%, indicating its reliability for diagnosing high viral load cases.
