Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of the DPP® RDT test for diagnosing yaws in children aged 2-15 in Alor, Indonesia, highlighting a need for better diagnostic measures as recommended by the WHO.*
-
- A total of 197 children were examined, revealing that while 79.7% had yaws scars, only 3% tested positive for yaws using the DPP® RDT.*
-
- The findings show a low agreement (26.9%) between clinical features and RDT results, suggesting that clinical features alone should not be relied upon for diagnosing yaws in endemic regions.*
