Abstract

New technologies and methods for analyzing laboratory performance are rapidly entering the everyday life. Screening with rapid diagnostic tests is already increasing the opportunities, reducing the cost of laboratory tests and facilitating the diagnosis of the disease at an early stage. Globally, diagnosis through rapid tests plays an important role in protecting public health. In Bulgaria, there is still a lack of extensive use of these types of tests, which is why we examined the opinion of 580 people in the Varna region to determine their level of awareness and frequency of use of rapid tests.
