Article Title: Laboratory Comparison of Rapid Antigen Diagnostic Tests for Lymphatic Filariasis: STANDARD Q Filariasis Antigen Test (QFAT) Versus Bioline Filariasis Test Strip (FTS)
doi: 10.3390/tropicalmed10010023
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Sensitivity and specificity of FTS and QFAT, compared to prior Ag results, at three time points. ( b ) Positive and negative predictive values of FTS and QFAT, compared to prior Ag results, at three time points. FTS: filariasis test strip; QFAT: Q filariasis antigen test; Pos Pred: positive predictive value; Neg Pred: negative predictive value.
Article Snippet: The STANDARD Q Filariasis Antigen Test (QFAT) (SD Biosensor, Suwon, Republic of Korea), a new RDT for filarial Ag, has been proposed as an alternative for use in LF monitoring and surveillance programmes.
