Aligning neonatal sepsis triage diagnostics with WHO target product profiles in low- and middle-income countries
Neonatal sepsis is a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet despite this, progress in the development and implementation of effective diagnostics has been limited. Current diagnostic methods rely on clinical assessments of nonspecific signs and symptoms, limited laboratory testing and technologies that are inaccessible, unaffordable or unsuitable for resource-constrained settings. There is…
Evaluation of a novel point-of-care lateral flow assay screening for Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection among pregnant women in Zimbabwe
Affordable, easy-to-use and rapid diagnostics may support a move away from syndromic management for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in resource-constrained settings. A lateral flow assay for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG-LFA) has shown high sensitivity and specificity (>90%) in symptomatic individuals. We investigated the performance and acceptability of this assay as a screening tool for NG among pregnant women. This evaluation was embedded w…
