Detecting and staging podoconiosis cases in North West Cameroon
Positive predictive value of clinical screening of patients by community health workers and researchers
Bibliographic Data
Podoconiosis being a stigmatized disease, the use of CHIs who are familiar to the community appears appropriate for identifying cases through clinical diagnosis. However, to improve their effectiveness and accuracy, more training, supervision and support are required. More emphasis must be given in identifying early clinical stages and in health districts with relatively lower PPVs
