Evaluation of cathodic antigen urine tests for diagnosis of schistosoma mansoni infection in Sudan
Background: Kato–Katz is the preferred method for the detection of Schistosoma mansoni eggs in stool. However, the sensitivity of this method is low and affected by day-to-day variation in egg excretion. Cathodic antigen urine tests have been proven to be sensitive for the diagnosis of S. mansoni in...
