Immunochromatographic assays for COVID-19 epidemiological screening: our experience	2020-06-02		.txt	text/plain	2684	147	49	We submitted to serological screening by two different immunochromatographic (IC) rapid testing for detection of IgG and IgM against SARS-CoV-2, 151 asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic healthcare workers previously tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR in order to evaluate the performance of rapid assays. Results showed discrepancies between molecular and IC results, and an inconsistency of immunoglobulins positivity patterns when compared to ELISA/CLIA results, highlighting the absolute necessity of assays performance validation before their marketing and use, in order to avoid errors in the results evaluation at both clinical and epidemiological level. Our aim was to evaluate the performances of two different IC assays, submitting to serological testing the 151 healthcare workers previously tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR and trying to find a correlation between the molecular method, that is considered the gold standard and rapid IC tests actually available.	./cache/cord-256904-uq6gy24x.txt	./txt/cord-256904-uq6gy24x.txt
