Rapid fever test for tropical diseases
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a new rapid diagnostic tool that can quickly identify tropical fever-causing infections like malaria, dengue, Zika, chikungunya, or leptospirosis from a blood sample. The goal is to help doctors diagnose these infections faster so patients can get treatment sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how the body responds to leptospirosis infection to improve diagnosis and treatment. It is for people with fever and possible leptospirosis, as well as healthy volunteers.
This trial is testing a new, non-invasive way to diagnose malaria by collecting and analyzing your breath. If you have a fever and are at least 12 years old, you may be able to help researchers see if this breath test works well.
This study tracks children with fever and rash to better diagnose infections like measles, rubella, dengue, and chikungunya. It helps doctors learn more about these illnesses.
This trial uses a rapid test to find the cause of fever in people who recently returned from tropical areas. It aims to detect new or unusual infections early, when you are still in the emergency department.
This study is testing a new, fast test to better identify which young children with fever are at risk for serious illness. If your child is eligible, they will be part of a group that helps doctors decide how to treat febrile children more accurately.
This trial is developing a quick, point-of-care diagnostic test for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), a serious viral illness. If you have symptoms and are being tested for CCHF, this study could help confirm the diagnosis faster.
