Host and Viral Factors Affecting Clinical Performance of a Rapid Diagnostic Test for Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Hospitalized Children

Respiratory syncytial virus rapid antigen detection tests (RADT) are used widely. RADT exhibited high specificity (97%) and moderate sensitivity (80%) compared with reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction in 720 hospitalized children
