The design of our study allowed us to specifically analyze two aspects of the open issue: the concordance of the rapid serological test with standard molecular testing; the trend of immunoglobulinsIgG/IgMexpression with respect to the onset of clinical symptoms. https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.03.20052183 doi: medRxiv preprint symptom appearance is accompanied by an improvement in serological test sensitivity compared to standard molecular testing Our study has some important limitations. Our study analyzed theclinical performance of the rapid serological test, Viva-Diag TM and confirmedthe test's limited applicability for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection when compared to standard molecular testing. ./cache/cord-285203-ilxd0ih9.txt ./txt/cord-285203-ilxd0ih9.txt
