Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This collaborative study between Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) and Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) will systematically compare different point of care typhoid tests currently available in the market against the same set of reference standard. The knowledge gained from this trial may benefit health providers' by providing information on diagnostic accuracy of current typhoid test and to decide on utility of these commercial tests. The result obtained from this trial will also be made available to help inform Ministry of Health in Kenya and the World Health Organization (WHO) Essential Diagnostic list (EDL) and stakeholder decision making more broadly.
