Author(s): Zhang Lei*, Yang Feng and Zhu Junzhe
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common viral pathogen that causes respiratory
tract infections across a spectrum of ages, from infants and young children to the elderly.
The significance of rapid and accurate RSV diagnosis is crucial for early treatment and
prevention of further transmission. The RSV rapid test cassette from Hangzhou AllTest
Biotech Co., Ltd is a lateral flow immunoassay that detects RSV antigens in respiratory
specimens, including nasopharyngeal swabs and nasal aspirates. The performance of
the RSV rapid test cassette (nasopharyngeal swab/nasal aspirate) has been evaluated
using patient specimens, with RT-PCR serving as the benchmark reference method.
Patients displaying respiratory symptoms provided nasopharyngeal swab and nasal
aspirate specimens. Each patient’s sample was tested using the RSV rapid test and RTPCR
