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, κ 0.91), 97.6% (481/493, κ 0.47), and 99.2% (488/492, κ 0.94) for influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus, respectively.
