- The evaluation included 286 serum samples from patients in endemic regions of Peru, comparing results from the rapid test to the traditional ELISA method, with decent sensitivity and high specificity noted.
- The findings advocate for the rapid test's use in primary care settings to enhance early diagnosis and improve public health responses in areas lacking advanced diagnostic resources.
