AbstractRapid, scalable, point-of-need, COVID-19 diagnostic testing is necessary to safely re-open economies and prevent future outbreaks. We developed an assay that detects single copies of SARS-CoV-2 virus directly from saliva and swab samples in 30 min using a simple, one-step protocol that utilizes only a heat block and microcentrifuge tube prefilled with a mixture containing the necessary reagents and has a sensitivity and specificity of 97% and 100%, respectively.

Chronic Chagas Disease

Introduction: Chagas disease (CD) is a neglected tropical disease. In the chronic phase of CD, the diagnosis is essentially serologic. Conventional reactions are currently in use. More recently, the use of rapid diagnostic testing (RDT) is indicated when conventional techniques are not available. Objective: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of RDTs for chronic CD diagnosis. Methodology: Individuals under suspicion of CD were evaluated using ELISA, Chemiluminescence (ChLIA) and RDT tests. Results: The RDT showed 95.1% sensitivity and 96.7% specificity, respectively. Conclusion: The findings of the present study showed that RDT used in the diagnosis of CD at a referral center in Brazil were not able to detect all CD cases when compared to Elisa and ChLIA.

Abstract Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs integrated with rapid diagnostic tests optimize patient outcomes and reduce time to effective therapy (TTET) and time to optimal therapy (TTOT). This study identifies predictors of TTET and TTOT among patients with positive blood cultures and identifies limitations to current TTOT definitions and outcomes.
