Abstract

The results of the Focus Simplexa FluA/B & RSV Direct assay were compared to those of laboratory-developed reverse transcription PCR tests for 498 nasopharyngeal swabs.Concordance rates were 96.6% (476/493;-0.91), 97.6% (481/493;-0.47), and 99.2% (488/492;-0.94) for influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus, respectively
