Patient charts were reviewed, if available, for potential factors that may have been associated with rapid antigen test result; these included patient age, duration of symptoms before presentation, inpatient or emergency department versus outpatient status, and the median number of RT-PCR fluorescence intensity (MFI) units. Because of the widespread interest regarding the clinical performance of rapid antigen tests for detection of pandemic influenza A/H1N1 virus, we used a convenience sample of positive specimens to allow for a quick yet relatively accurate assessment of these tests.	./cache/cord-354877-n5du3bqt.txt	./txt/cord-354877-n5du3bqt.txt
