Abstract
We conducted a multicenter clinical validity study of the Panbio coronavirus disease 2019 Antigen Rapid Test of
nasopharyngeal samples in pediatric patients with coronavirus disease 2019–compatible symptoms of £5 days
of evolution. Our study showed limited accuracy in nasopharyngeal antigen testing: overall sensitivity was
45.4%, and 99.8% of specificity, positive-predictive value was 92.5%. (J Pediatr 2021;232:287-9)
