Sample collection for the development of a new Abbott Rapid Diagnostics COVID- 19/ Flu A&B Rapid Panel
REFNo: HS2592ES
Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses - they share some similar symptoms but are caused by different viruses. Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, distinguishing infection between these viruses cannot be made based on symptoms alone. Diagnostic testing is needed to determine which of the two viruses is the cause of the illness.
Abbott Rapid Diagnostics is developing a new COVID-19 / Flu A&B rapid test device that can detect both flu and COVID-19 viruses in a patient sample and distinguish between them. The test is being developed on an improved lateral flow platform, to be conducted at the point-of-care. This study is intended to collect samples to aid in the research and development process for this new test. The study will provide standard-of-care PCR testing and potentially molecular sequencing for patient management at clinical sites in Uganda.
