Testing a rapid measles test for faster diagnosis in Senegal
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study checks how well a rapid measles blood test works by comparing it to the standard confirmatory tests used in Senegal. If you (or your child) might have measles, the results could help clinicians diagnose it faster and guide next steps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at the study clinic because testing for measles is needed under local health rules
- You have signs that fit a suspected measles case, such as fever and a non-blistering rash
- Rash started within the last 28 days
- If under 18, a parent/guardian can give written consent (and the child can agree if older than 7)
- If 18 or older, you can give written consent
- You do not need urgent immediate care that could be delayed by testing
