Performance of clinical signs and symptoms, rapid and laboratory diagnostic tests for diagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis by passive screening in Guinea: a non-interventional, prospective cross-sectional study

Abstract: Background: Passive diagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) at the health facility level is a major component of HAT control in Guinea. We examined which clinical signs and symptoms are associated with HAT, and assessed the performance of selected clinical presentations, of rapid diagnostic tests (RDT), and of laboratory tests on dried blood spots (DBS) for diagnosing HAT. Method: The study took place in 11 health facilities in Guinea, where 2345 clinical suspects were tested with RDTs HAT Sero-K-Set,… Show more

“…Among the immunological laboratory tests, the speci city values obtained for trypanolysis on DBS are in line with previously reported values of 92.9-100% [13,33,34], although LiTat 1.6 is not often included in the trypanolysis test battery. For indirect ELISA/T.b.…”
