Summary

This study will evaluate two rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for chronic Chagas disease in over 3,200 people at public health sites in Argentina. The goal is to see if these simple, point-of-care tests can accurately detect the infection, making diagnosis faster and more accessible. Participants include pregnant women, blood donors, and others suspected of having chronic Chagas disease.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make diagnosing chronic Chagas disease faster and easier in local clinics, helping more people get treated sooner.
What could go wrong
This is a field evaluation, not a treatment trial. The tests may not perform as well in real-world settings as in the lab, and results may vary across different regions.
