Abstract
- Rapid and accurate diagnostic tests for viral infections are essential for diagnosis, treatment, and patient isolation. Various rapid nucleic acid tests, rapid antigen tests, and rapid antibody tests have been developed and used to diagnose viral infections. In this paper, the types and characteristics of various rapid viral tests currently used in Korea, test items, and considerations when interpreting rapid test results are described.
