Abstract: BACKGROUND: With the rapid and severe outbreak of COVID-19, diagnostic tools are needed. Rapid antibody test kits are convenient and fast, and the price is not high, suitable for screening patients. In addition, the diagnostic accuracy index compared to the gold standard, RT-PCR, is required for further clinical use. OBJECTIVES: To study the accuracy of the Baiya Rapid Covid-19 IgM/IgG test kit. METHODS: Cross-sectional studies were collected between 1 May 2020 and 30 January 2021 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Prapokklao Hospital. Blood was taken from the fingertips to analyze to detect IgM/IgG antibodies in 23 preoperative gynecological cancer patients (control group) compared with 27 women with COVID-19 infection sent home from field hospitals after 14-day quarantine (case group). RESULTS: For the preoperative 23 cases, 0 were positive PCR, and 1 case of the positive rapid antibody test. Of the 27 patients from field hospitals, 27 cases were positive PCR, 27 cases were positive rapid antibody tests, the sensitivity was 100.0%, specificity 95.6%, and accuracy 98% CONCLUSIONS: Diagnostic accuracy index of the Baiya Rapid Covid-19 IgM/IgG test kit is very high. It can be for clinical use.
