Abstract

COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Two tests to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virusare the rapid antigen test and RT-PCR. The gold standard for testing for COVID-19 is RT-PCR. The highnumber of Covid-19 sufferers in Madura plus the RT-PCR examination takes a long time. Rapid antigenexamination is one of the Covid-19 screening solutions that should be tested because it offers fast examinationtimes. This study aims to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the SARS COV-2 rapid antigen test toRT PCR for the diagnosis of COVID 19. This type of research is an analytical study with a cross-sectionaldesign. The study was conducted at Rato Ebu Hospital Bangkalan from July-September 2021. The sample ofthis study was suspected symptomatic COVID-19 patients who were examined using the SARS-CoV-2 rapidantigen and RT-PCR using purposive sampling of as many as 60 people.Diagnostictest method by measuringthe sensitivity and specificity of rapid antigen to RT-PCR.Based on the results of the study, it can beconcluded that the sensitivity of the SARS Cov-2 Rapid Antigen to RT-PCR is 82.97% and the specificity ofthe SARS Cov-2 Rapid Antigen to RT-PCR is 100%
