title: Clinical evaluation of the SD Bioline influenza virus antigen test for rapid detection of influenza viruses A and B in children and adults during the influenza season.
abstract: The performance of the SD Bioline rapid antigen test kit for influenza virus detection was evaluated with 295 respiratory specimens during the influenza season. The overall sensitivity and specificity of the SD Bioline test were 61.9% and 96.8% for the influenza A virus antigen and 54.5% and 100% for the influenza B virus antigen, respectively. The results were consistent with peak influenza activities.
