Durria Mansour; Elfadil M. Abass; Abdelhafeiz Mahamoud; Abdallah el Harith

Volume 6, Issue 4 , December 2009, , Pages 208-215

Abstract
  Background: Until now, the comparison of the rK39 strip test (RKT) and direct ag-glutination test (DAT) for detection of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is exclusively based on either positive or negative qualification of the reaction outcome. Objective: In this study, we compared the diagnostic performance ...  Read More
