The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for rapid and accurate tests to detect SARS-CoV-2. Objectives: This study evaluates effectiveness of Panbio™ Antigen Self-Test test compared reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Methods: A prospective diagnostic testing was performed. Patients with respiratory symptoms who provided informed consent were included. Results: We included 205 patients underwent both tests. mean age 35.55 ± 12.62 years, 64% participants female. Sensitivity specificity 71.2% (95% CI: 62.5–79.9%) 100% 96.4–100%), respectively. Conclusions: If a is positive within first 72 h after onset symptoms, we can be sure that it case COVID-19; however, when antigen negative, confirmation RT-PCR necessary. Its ease use results moderate precision make valuable tool early detection.
