SARS-CoV-2 IGM and IGG rapid serologic test for the diagnosis of COVID-19 in the emergency department

Highlights

• RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2′s diagnostic has many false negatives and long turnaround times.

• In our study 20% of RT-PCR negative patients had a rapid Sars-CoV2 IgG/IgM positive.

• Rapid SARS-CoV2 IgG/IgM may be used as a complementary assay to the RT-PCR.

• They can be useful in emergency patient's triage and admission.

• They help avoiding to admit a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 in a COVID-free area.
