COVID-19 Antigen Testing
Rapid antigen tests are commonly used in the diagnosis of respiratory pathogens, including influenza viruses and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The FDA has granted emergency use authorization (EUA) for antigen tests that can identify SARS-CoV-2.
An antigen test reveals if a person is currently infected with a pathogen such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Once the infection has gone, the antigen disappears.
This COVID-19 test detects certain proteins in the virus. Using a long nasal swab (nasopharyngeal swab) or throat swab to get a fluid sample, antigen tests can produce results in minutes.
