Preliminary Assessment of the Diagnostic Performances of a New Rapid Diagnostic Test for the Serodiagnosis of Human Cystic Echinococcosis
Rapid Diagnostic Tests for cystic echinococcosis (CE) are convenient to support ultrasound diagnosis in uncertain cases, especially in resource-limited settings. We found comparable diagnostic performances of the experimental Hyd Rapid Test and the commercial VIRapid HYDATIDOSIS Test, used in our diagnostic laboratory, using samples from well-characterized hepatic CE cases.
