Article Synopsis
- UAFI is a significant challenge in diagnosing tropical infections due to overlapping symptoms, necessitating accurate pathogen detection for effective treatment and outbreak management.
- The research developed two real-time multiplex PCR assays designed to detect six overlooked pathogens causing UAFI, emphasizing efficiency and reliability in tropical regions.
- The assays demonstrated high sensitivity and consistency, offering a cost-effective solution that can streamline laboratory work and cater to resource-limited settings.
Arbovirus infections are frequent causes of acute febrile illness (AFI) in tropical countries. We conducted health facility-based AFI surveillance at four sites in Colombia (Cucuta, Cali, Villavicencio, Leticia) during 2019-2022. Demographic, clinical and risk factor data were collected from persons with AFI that consented to participate in the study ( = 2,967).
