Campus sweep: rapid chagas tests could uncover thousands of hidden cases

This study tests whether offering a rapid diagnostic test for Chagas disease at a university in Argentina can help find undiagnosed infections and connect people to treatment. Participants are students, faculty, and staff aged 18 and older who get a quick finger-prick test during regular campus activities. Those who test positive are referred for confirmatory testing and treatment, with follow-up support by phone. The study also checks how accurate the rapid test is compared to standard lab methods and maps where infections are most common.
