Article Synopsis
- Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS) is difficult to diagnose in low-resource primary healthcare settings, leading to the development of a risk factors and symptoms tool to assist healthcare workers in identifying FGS cases.
- A study conducted with 347 women in north-western Tanzania assessed the effectiveness of this tool, with findings showing a high prevalence of symptoms suggestive of FGS.
- Results indicated that the tool's sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing FGS were still undetermined, highlighting the need for further evaluation of its diagnostic performance.
