Comparison between a rapid diagnostic test and dried blood spot-based immunoassay for hepatitis B surface antigen testing: Performance and cost implications in a population-based serosurvey in Vietnam

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the agreement between a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and a dried blood spot (DBS)-based electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) of hepatitis B surface antigen and to compare the costs of conducting serosurveys using RDTs and DBS in a field setting. Metho...
