Rapid strep test. The rapid strep test (RST) is a rapid antigen detection test (RADT) that is widely used in clinics to assist in the diagnosis of bacterial pharyngitis caused by group A streptococci (GAS), sometimes termed strep throat. There are currently several types of rapid strep test in use, each employing a distinct technology.
The MRT test, on the other hand, has a 94% sensitivity and 92% specificity, and is extremely reliable with a split sample reproducibility consistently greater than 90%. It is an end-point test, meaning it measures the outcomes of all the possible non-IgE reactions, including IgG, IgM, complement, and T-cell reactions.
