Abstract Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) against latex agglutination (LA), India ink and culture in point-of-care diagnosis of CM. We conducted a cross-sectional study among patients with suspected CM at Mbagathi Hospital, Nairobi, April-July 2017. Results: Of 124 capillary blood and serum and 99 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples, the agreement between LFA and LA on serum was 94.4%, kappa (0.88), sensitivity (100%) and specificity (91%). LFA and LA on CSF, was 97.9%, kappa (0.96), sensitivity (100%) and specificity (96%). LFA and India ink was 96.9%, kappa (0.94), sensitivity (100%) and specificity (94.1%). On CSF culture, the agreement was 72.7%, kappa (0.43), sensitivity (100%) and specificity (64%). The agreement of LFA on capillary blood, serum and CSF was 100% with kappa (1.00), sensitivity and specificity of 100%

Abstract From directly-observed-therapy studies, urine tenofovir (TFV) levels were 74% lower when taking tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Urine TFV remains quantifiable across a range of TAF adherence patterns, but a separate point-of-care lateral flow immunoassay with a lower TFV threshold will be needed to support TAF adherence monitoring.

Abstract Temperature sensing is a promising method of enhancing the detection sensitivity of lateral flow immunoassay for point-of-care testing. A temperature increase of more than 100 °C can be readily achieved by photoexcitation of reporters like gold nanoparticles (GNPs) or colored latex beads (CLBs) on the strips with a laser power below 100 mW. Despite its promise, processes involved in the photothermal detection have not yet been well-characterized. Here, we provide a fundamental understanding of this thermometric assay by combining experiments and simulations using non-fluorescent CLBs as the reporters deposited on nitrocellulose membrane. By measuring the dependence of temperature rises on the number density of membrane-bound CLBs, we determined a 1.5-fold enhancement of the light absorption at 520 nm by the beads (diameter of 0.4 μm). The enhancement, however, was compromised by a 5-fold reduction of the incident laser power due to multiple scattering of the light in this highly porous medium. The limit of detection was measured to be 1 × 105 particles/mm2. In line with previous studies using GNPs as the reporters, the CLB-based thermometric assay provides a 10× higher sensitivity than color visualization, as demonstrated with the immunoassay for nucleocapsid proteins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Abstract Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) against latex agglutination (LA), India ink and culture in point-of-care diagnosis of Cryptococcus meningitis (CM). We conducted a cross-sectional study among patients with suspected CM at Mbagathi Hospital, Nairobi, April-July 2017.
