摘要

背景:恰加斯病仍然是危地马拉的一个公共卫生问题,在区域和全球都有持续传播。诊断是复杂的,往往难以获得。本研究评价了胡蒂亚帕市克氏锥虫感染快速诊断试验的性能。方法:采用三种快速检测方法,并与一种慢性感染诊断算法进行比较。结果:虽然所有的检测方法都有很高的特异性,但它们的灵敏度不是最佳的。rdt(快速诊断试验)的联合使用略微提高了灵敏度,但仍低于理想阈值。结论:有必要进一步评估RDTs,以提高可及性并简化诊断算法。

Performance evaluation of rapid diagnostic tests for Chagas disease in Jutiapa, Guatemala.

Background: Chagas disease remains a public health problem in Guatemala, with ongoing transmission, both regionally and globally. Diagnosis is complex and often inaccessible. This study evaluated the performance of rapid diagnostic tests for Trypanosoma cruzi infection in Jutiapa.

Methods: Three rapid tests were performed, and the results were compared with those of a diagnostic algorithm for chronic infection.

Results: Although all tests had high specificity, their sensitivities were suboptimal. The combined use of RDTs (Rapid Diagnostic Tests) slightly improved the sensitivity, but it remained below the ideal thresholds.

Conclusions: Further evaluation of RDTs is necessary to enhance access and simplify diagnostic algorithms.
