CryptoT&T
A cryptosporidiosis point-of-care test-and-treat strategy in children with diarrhea. The project will assess the clinical effectiveness of LED-microscopy of Auramine Phenol stained fecal smear (LED-AP) testing, in conjunction with access to targeted drug treatment, in reducing the duration of cryptosporidiosis-induced diarrhea.
About the research project
This EDCTP3 funded project will evaluate diagnostic accuracy, operational issues, cost-effectiveness, and test turnaround times in a realistic setting in two Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. Additionally, it will investigate whether rectal swab samples can expedite test turnaround times compared to bulk stool samples, while maintaining high diagnostic accuracy.
