Samples from symptomatic patients for Covid-19 and with PCR + for SARS-COV-2, as well as from healthy individuals pre-exposed to the virus were used. The individual index (I) value obtained by the Abs / cut-off ratio were used to construct ROC curves. The diagnostic performance of the antigen in relation to the type of sample used was based on the evaluation of sensitivity (95% CI), specificity (95% CI), area on the curve (AUC) and Youden index (J). Legend: J = (Se + Sp)–1; n = samples number, +  = positive sample, −  = negative sample.
