Accuracy of individual rapid tests for serodiagnosis of gambiense sleeping sickness in West Africa.

BACKGROUND:Individual rapid tests for serodiagnosis (RDT) of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) are particularly suited for passive screening and surveillance. However, so far, no large scale evaluation of RDTs has been performed for diagnosis of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense HAT in West Africa. The...
