Emerging Infectious Diseases, 10/01/09
Drexler JF et al. – Influenza A pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus RNA was detected by reverse transcription–PCR in 144 clinical samples from Bonn, Germany. A common rapid antigen–based test detected the virus in only 11.1% of these samples. The paramount feature of rapid test–positive samples was high virus concentration. Antigen–based rapid tests appear unsuitable for virologic diagnostics in the current pandemic.
