ABSTRACT
We assessed the relationship between antigen and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) test positivity and successful virus isolation. We found that antigen test results were more predictive of virus recovery than RT-PCR results. However, virus was isolated from some antigen-negative and RT-PCRâpositive paired specimens, providing support for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention antigen testing algorithm.
