Résumé

The continuous genetic evolution of SARS-CoV-2 resulting in the immune escape variant of concern (VoC) Omicron poses a challenge to rapid and accurate diagnosis of infection, especially in high-risk groups such as healthcare workers. We performed a clinical study to determine the diagnostic accuracy and robustness of a second-generation rapid antigen test compared to a first-generation rapid antigen test with an RT-qPCR-based assay as gold standard, for early detection of infections with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron VoC. A total of 428 healthcare workers with COVID-19-associated symptoms or during routine testing participated in the study and completed a questionnaire on infection-associated symptoms, previous SARS-CoV-2 infections, and vaccination status. All participants performed a second- and first-generation rapid antigen test on the day of presentation and repeated the test 2 days later, and a diagnostic SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR assay was performed. qPCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections (
