Stop TB`s GDF provides a wide range of diagnostic equipment and laboratory supplies in its Diagnostics Catalog
This page serves to provide up to date information on serology tests that are in development or available for use. Importantly, many of these tests have been approved for research use only, which indicates that they are not yet approved for use as a public health diagnostic tool or for at-home diagn...osis. Some of these tests may move forward to approval for diagnostic use, while others may be appropriate for research only.

The Alere Filariasis Test Strip (FTS) is a rapid diagnostic test recommended for mapping, monitoring and transmission assessment surveys (TAS) for the qualitative detection of Wuchereria bancrofti antigen in human blood samples. The FTS has replaced the Binax Now filariasis immunochromatographic tes...t (ICT), which also detects the same antigen in blood samples. The Brugia Rapid point-of-care cassette test (BRT) manufactured by Reszon Diagnostics is recommended for use during TAS to detect IgG4 antibody against Brugia spp. in human blood samples.
Read the Filariasis Test Strip (FTS) Bench Aid. This bench aid provides detailed instruction on the proper use of the new Filariasis Test Strip used for the detection of Wuchereria bancrofti antigen.

В этой главе представлены модели, которые позволяют провести различия между разнообразными типами поведенческих, эмоциональных и социальных проблем, встречающи...хся у детей (для краткости мы употребляем слова «ребенок», «дети» и «детство» для описания возраста от рождения до 18 лет). Используемое нами понятие «модели», включает в себя официальные нозологии (т.е. классификации расстройств), такие как Международная классификация болезней (МКБ) Всемирной организации здравоохранения и Руководство по диагностике и статистике психических расстройств (DSM – Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders) Американской психиатрической ассоциации (2000).

This Rapid Communication aims to inform national TB programmes and other stakeholders about the key implications of the latest evidence on the use of specific molecular assays as initial diagnostic tests of pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB and RR-TB, in adults and children.
The speed of developing diagnostics for SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has been quite remarkable. Diagnostics have focused on nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) to identify infected individuals in acute-phase disease for timely implementation of mitiga...tion strategies and case management. More and more immunodiagnostics, mostly rapid diagnostic tests, are being made available as an alternative to NAATs. This type of test can be used out-of-laboratory conditions at large scale.

Childhood cancer is curable for the vast majority of children when essential diagnostic, therapeutic and supportive care services are accessible. However, profound inequalities in outcomes exist within and between countries with as few as 20% or 30% of children living in low- and middle-income count...ries surviving.
The Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer Overview document presents the CureAll approach to support governments, partners and communities achieve the best possible cancer care for all children. This approach, summarized as four pillars of action supported by three enablers, will improve the care for children with cancer around the world.

Sequencing enabled the world to rapidly identify SARS-CoV-2 and develop diagnostic tests and other tools for outbreak management. Continued genome sequencing supports the monitoring of the disease’s spread and evolution of the virus. Accelerated integration of genome sequencing int...o the practices of the global health community is required if we want to be better prepared for the future threats. This document provides guidance for laboratories on maximizing the impact of SARS-CoV-2 sequencing now and other emerging pathogens in the future.

Este folleto define lo que es el trastorno bipolar y a quién le puede dar, su diagnóstico y tratamiento en los niños y los adolescentes, cómo ayudar a un niño o adolescente con este trastorno y cómo afecta a los padres y demás familiares.
La página titulada «Paludismo» en el sitio de las Guías médicas de Médicos Sin Fronteras (MSF) proporciona directrices clínicas detalladas para el diagnóstico, tratamiento y prevención del paludismo, especialmente en contextos humanitarios y en zonas con recursos limitados. Describe las dis...tintas especies de Plasmodium responsables de la enfermedad, los síntomas clínicos asociados a las formas simples y graves, los métodos de diagnóstico como las pruebas rápidas y la microscopía, así como los protocolos terapéuticos adaptados a cada situación, incluidos los destinados a poblaciones vulnerables como los niños y las mujeres embarazadas. La página también aborda estrategias de prevención, en particular el uso de mosquiteros impregnados con insecticida y la quimioprevención estacional en zonas de alta transmisión. Estas recomendaciones se basan en las directrices de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y en la experiencia de MSF sobre el terreno.

El propósito de esta guía es brindar orientaciones clínicas actualizadas en TB/VIH con énfasis en aspectos de diagnóstico, incluidas nuevas técnicas, así como de tratamiento vigente, sin perder de vista un enfoque de salud pública. Al recopilar y consolidar en una sola guía las últimas rec...omendaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud en el tema, se busca elaborar un documento de referencia y consulta frecuente, que unifique y estandarice el manejo de la coinfección TB/VIH de manera integral en establecimientos de salud con base en el principio de “dos enfermedades, un solo paciente”. También busca sustentar la actualización de normas y guías nacionales sobre la coinfeccion y complementar el trabajo coordinado que debe existir entre los programas de prevencion y control de TB y VIH a todo nivel en el marco las doce actividades de colaboración TB/VIH recomendadas internacionalmente.
