Comparative evaluation of four rapid diagnostic tests that detect human < i > Trypanosoma cruzi- < /i > specific antibodies to support diagnosis of Chagas Disease in urban population of Argentina
ConclusionsOur study demonstrates that, under controlled laboratory conditions, commercially available RDTs for CD have a performance comparable to the Argentinian diagnostic algorithm, which is based on laboratory-based serological tests. For the next stage of our work, the RDTs will be evaluated in real-world settings.
