The QuickVue strep test is generally considered to be quite accurate, with a sensitivity (ability to correctly identify those with the disease) of around 85% and a specificity (ability to correctly identify those without the disease) of about 95%. However, its accuracy can be influenced by factors such as sample collection technique and the prevalence of the disease in the population being tested.
