Circulating Antigen Tests and Urine Reagent Strips for Diagnosis of Active Schistosomiasis in Endemic Areas [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015
Point-of-care (POC) tests for diagnosing schistosomiasis include tests based on circulating antigen detection and urine reagent strip tests. If they had sufficient diagnostic accuracy they could replace conventional microscopy as they provide a quicker answer and are easier to use.To summarise the diagnostic accuracy of: a) urine reagent strip tests in
