Performance evaluation of a prototype rapid diagnostic test for combined detection of < i > gambiense < /i > -human African trypanosomiasis and malaria
ConclusionThe HAT/Malaria Combined prototype RDT was as accurate as the individual malaria or gHAT RDTs. The HAT/Malaria Combined prototype RDT is therefore suitable for both malaria diagnosis and gHAT screening. However, there is a need to assess its accuracy using fresh samples in prospective clinical trials.
