NCT ID NCT01865032
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study evaluated a new rapid test called CL Detect™ for diagnosing cutaneous leishmaniasis, a skin infection caused by parasites. Researchers tested 150 adults with skin ulcers to see how well the rapid test works compared to the standard method of looking at samples under a microscope. The goal was to find out if the rapid test can accurately identify the infection, which could lead to faster diagnosis and treatment.
