概括
对瘤瘤病的新型快速诊断试验 (RDTs) 显示出有前途的测绘灵敏度,但所有RDTs都缺乏大量药物管理 (MDA) 停止决策所需的高特异性,突出了改善诊断的需要.
科学领域:
- 被忽视的热带疾病被忽视的热带疾病
- 寄生虫学的寄生虫学
- 公共卫生诊断 公共卫生诊断
背景情况:
- 由Onchocerca volvulus引起的瘤,是一种被忽视的热带疾病,由ivermectin大规模药物管理 (MDA) 控制.
- 目前的诊断测试对瘤瘤的消除计划是次优的,未能满足世界卫生组织 (WHO) 的敏感性和特异性值,用于绘制和MDA停止.
- 这项研究评估了Ov16 SD Bioline快速诊断测试 (RDT) 和三种新型RDT (DDTD双重类型A和C和单重类型GADx) 的性能.
研究的目的:
- 评估新型快速诊断测试 (RDT) 的诊断性能与商业上可用的Ov16 SD生物素RDT用于瘤瘤检测.
- 确定评估的RDTs是否符合世界卫生组织 (WHO) 对于瘤病测绘和MDA停止决策所需的敏感性和特异性的标准.
主要方法:
- 这项研究招募了319名在南苏丹马里迪的孕妇和产后妇女,这是一个瘤病流行地区.
- 快速诊断测试 (RDT) 使用全血和干血斑点 (DBS),以及皮肤切片显微镜和血清学测试 (anti-Ov16 ELISA,O-150 qPCR) 作为参考标准进行.
- 在DBS上使用定量PCR (qPCR) 检测Mansonella spp. 并考虑潜在的错误阳性结果.
主要成果:
- 通过ELISA,O. volvulus抗体的患病率为49.6%,而通过皮肤切片显微镜 (31.9%) 和qPCR (41.8%) 确认了感染.
- 曼索内拉菌种类.曼索内拉菌种类. 感染的流行率为13.4%.
- 单复式RDTs (Ov16 SD生物质,GADx) 检测到>60%的阳性,而双复式RDTs (DDTD A,C) 检测到50%的阳性. 敏感度在48.9%至69.4%之间,特异性在42.5%至73.2%之间.
结论:
- 在O. volvulus和Mansonella spp.的高流行率. 在孕妇/产后妇女中,强调了马里迪的疾病负担.
- 新型RDT的灵敏度与Ov16 SD生物质RDT相当,符合世卫组织的映射标准,但没有达到MDA停止决策值.
- 没有一项研发技术达到世卫组织要求的99.8%的特异性,这表明急需更准确的诊断工具,以推进糖病消除工作.

01:30Leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a protozoal disease caused by species of the genus Leishmania and transmitted through the bite of infected female sandflies. The parasite exists in two principal morphological forms during its life cycle. A sandfly acquires intracellular amastigotes from an infected reservoir host, such as a dog. Within the sandfly, these forms differentiate into motile, flagellated promastigotes. During a subsequent blood meal, promastigotes are injected into the human host, where they...
01:22American Trypanosomiasis
Chagas disease, or American trypanosomiasis, is a vector-borne parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a flagellated protozoan (kinetoplastid) of the family Trypanosomatidae. The disease is endemic in Latin America, although cases are increasingly reported worldwide due to human migration. Transmission most commonly occurs when feces of infected triatomine bugs contaminate bite wounds or mucosal surfaces; additional routes include congenital, transfusional, transplant-related, and oral...
