Recent reports have suggested that immunochromatographic tests (ICTs) have poor sensitivity for influenza A virus 2009 H1N1 (H1N1 09) infection on swabs ([2][1]) and nasopharyngeal washes ([1][2]), but they do have advantages, including short turnaround time, lack of hardware, and minimal validation
