Article Synopsis
- Rotavirus causes severe diarrhea in young children, often leading to hospitalizations and fatalities, necessitating effective diagnostic methods in resource-limited settings like refugee camps.
- A study in Dadaab Refugee Camp evaluated the ImmunoCard STAT! Rotavirus (ICS-RV) test against the Premier Rotaclone enzyme immunoassay, enrolling 213 children under 5 with acute diarrhea.
- The ICS-RV demonstrated high sensitivity (83.1%) and specificity (99.3%), meeting WHO ASSURED criteria, indicating it’s a reliable point-of-care test for detecting rotavirus in challenging field conditions.
