False positivity of non-targeted infections in malaria rapid diagnostic tests: the case of human african trypanosomiasis.

False positivity of non-targeted infections in malaria rapid diagnostic tests: the case of human african trypanosomiasis.

BACKGROUND: In endemic settings, diagnosis of malaria increasingly relies on the use of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs).
