title: Evaluation of a Rapid Lateral Flow Point-of-Care Test for Detection of Cryptosporidium.
abstract: A new rapid lateral flow fecal antigen detection test for Cryptosporidium was evaluated using diarrheal stool samples from a cohort of children in Bangladesh. The test had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 94% when compared with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay antigen detection.
