Resumen

RNA viruses, such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), are common causes of lower airway infections. Rapid tests (antigen-based by immunochromatographic and molecular technique - RIT and RMT, respectively) with good diagnostic accuracy directly impacts the quality of patient care and hospitalization costs. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of point of care PCR compared to rapid antigen-based tests for influenza and RSV in the emergency department.Methods: Prospective cross section study in an Emergency Room (ER) from August to September 2019, where all patients with influenza like illness went through RIT and RMT. The patients were divided in a model of four clinical scenarios to evaluate cost and isolation time in the ER.Results: 424 patients were included in the study. RIT showed sensitivity of only 40% compared with RMT (100% specificity; PPV 100%; NPV 68,7%), causing 103 patients to mistakenly leave respiratory isolation, raising biological risk in the ER. Fast results from RMT led negative patients to leave isolation early (262:10 less hours of isolation), allowing cost reduction of USD 1.921,20. Nonetheless, RMT had higher cost than RIT in all clinical scenarios with an increase of USD 12.788,90 (69,9% of cost related to tests and isolation precautions). Conclusion: RIT was a more affordable test but can’t be used to exclude disease and was associated with higher biological risk to the hospital setting. RMT had better diagnostic performance with faster results, allowing for less isolation time per patient tested.
