The study compared the mcF6-screen Corona Antigen Test (Qiagen, Germany) with RT-PCR in suspected COVID-19 patients. Two hundred combined oro-nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from patients with suspected COVID-19 to evaluate the analytical performance of the mcF6-screen Corona Antigen Test compared to qualitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in symptomatic patients. The mcF6-screen Corona Antigen Test showed an overall agreement with a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 100%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 100%, and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 100%. We semi-quantitatively evaluated the mcF6-screen Corona Antigen Test and found a -0. 706 correlation between cycle threshold (Ct) values and antigen test results (p
