Article Synopsis
- A new rapid diagnostic test for toxoplasmosis was developed to be effective in both high-income and low/middle-income countries, addressing the need for accessible healthcare tools for immunocompromised patients.
- The study tested this new method, LAMP DNA chromatography, alongside conventional loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and nested PCR on 91 clinical samples from patients suspected of having toxoplasmosis, showing superior sensitivity and specificity.
- Results indicate that the LAMP DNA chromatography method is a valuable tool for detecting T. gondii in both general clinical samples and CSF from patients with toxoplasma encephalitis, making it a promising option for rapid diagnosis in resource-limited settings.
