L’objectif des lignes directrices 2024 est de fournir des recommandations actualisées et fondées sur
des données probantes sur les principaux sujets prioritaires. Ceux-ci concernent notamment les critères élargis et simplifiés de mise sous traitement pour les adultes, mais aussi désormais ...pour les adolescents, l’élargissement des critères d’éligibilité au traitement
antiviral prophylactique pour les femmes enceintes
afin de prévenir la transmission mère-enfant du VHB,
l’amélioration des tests de diagnostic de l’infection par le
VHB grâce à l’utilisation de tests de mesure de la charge
virale du VHB (ADN) sur le lieu de soins (“point-of-care
tests”) et d’approches réflexes pour la recherche de
l’ADN du VHB, et les critères pour déterminer à qui et
comment faire le test pour rechercher une infection par
le VHD.

SARS-COV-2 antigen rapid diagnostic tests are an alternative option for diagnosing active SARS-CoV-2 infection through detection of viral proteins. Rapid antigen tests revolutionize the response to COVID-19 by providing accurate test results in 10 to 20 minutes instead of days, allowing tests to be ...done at point of care, and dramatically lowering the price of the tests.
Proper training on the safe use and implementation of antigen tests is vital to ensuring quality testing. A comprehensive training package around safety, sample collection, testing, reporting and management of antigen tests can be found below.
The training package includes facilitators’ guides for master trainers and trainers, training presentations, and supplementary materials to aid in the delivery of this training.

The WHO standard: Universal access to rapid tuberculosis diagnostics sets benchmarks to achieve universal access to WHO-recommended rapid diagnostics (WRDs), increase bacteriologically confirmed tuberculosis and drug resistance detection, and reduce the time to diagnosis. WHO-recommended rapid diagn...ostics are highly accurate, cost-effective, reduce the time to treatment initiation, and impact patient-important outcomes.
