“…Agreement between the results of standard serological tests and the tested dipstick was good. This complements the results from other studies testing the same dipstick (5,14,30) or dipsticks from other manufacturers (i.e., Chagas Stat-Pak, Chembio Diagnostics Inc.; SD Bioline Chagas Ab rapid test (Standard Diagnostics); and OnSite Chagas Ab rapid test cassette, CTK Biotech) (4,8,14,20,25,28).…”

Rapid Detection of Trypanosoma cruzi in Human Serum by Use of an Immunochromatographic Dipstick Test

et al. 2010

We evaluated a commercially available immunochromatographic dipstick test to detect Trypanosoma cruzi infection in 366 human serum samples with known serological results from Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, and Venezuela. One hundred forty-nine of 366 (40.7%) and 171/366 (46.7%) samples tested positive by dipstick and serology, respectively. Dipstick sensitivity was calculated to be 84.8% (range between countries, 77.5 to 95%), and specificity was 97.9% (95.9 to 100%).

“…Immunochromatographic dipstick tests have been developed for a range of tropical diseases, including malaria (31), leishmaniasis (7), and schistosomiasis (3); until recently (4,5,8,14,17,20,25,28,30), none was available for Chagas disease.…”

“…The concordance of Stat-Pak results for blood and serum samples was near perfect (99.7%), and the reproducibility of the test was high. Most previous studies evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of the Chagas Stat-Pak assay in South and Central America also revealed high sensitivity and specificity estimates (3,10,12,17,18,20). Considering (i) the very high proportion (97.6%) of Bolivians among T. cruzi-infected patients in our study and (ii) the probable influence of geography on the Chagas Stat-Pak test performance (20,21), it is more appropriate to restrict the comparison of test sensitivity with studies conducted with Bolivian patients.…”

Validation of a Rapid Immunochromatographic Assay for Diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi Infection among Latin-American Migrants in Geneva, Switzerland

et al. 2010

Chagas' disease is a global public health problem due to the recent exchange of population between Latin America and other regions, including Europe. The recent development of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for Trypanosoma cruzi infection may improve patient access to diagnosis and care worldwide. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the Chagas Stat-Pak RDT in a cohort of undocumented Latin-American migrants living in Geneva, Switzerland. Study participants were enrolled in a primary health care center. The Chagas Stat-Pak test was performed independently on blood and serum samples. A combination of two commercialized enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based serological tests was used for comparison (reference standard). A total of 999 adults (median age, 36 years) were included in the study; the majority were women (83%) and originally from Bolivia (47%) or Brazil (25%). A total of 125 participants (12.5%) were diagnosed with T. cruzi infection; with the exception of three individuals, all individuals diagnosed with T. cruzi were originally from Bolivia. The sensitivity and specificity of the Chagas Stat-Pak test on blood samples were 95.2% (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 89.2% to 97.9%) and 99.9% (95% CI, 99.3% to 100%), respectively. When the test was performed on serum samples, the sensitivity was 96% (95% CI, 91% to 98.3%), and the specificity was 99.8% (95% CI, 99.2% to 99.9%). The concordance of test results for blood and serum samples was 99.7%. Both negative and positive predictive values were above 98%. The Chagas Stat-Pak is an accurate diagnostic test for T. cruzi infection among Latin-American migrants living in Europe. The mild deficit in sensitivity should be interpreted in light of its ease of use and capacity to provide immediate results, which allow more people at risk to have access to diagnosis and care both in countries where Chagas' disease is endemic and in countries where this disease is not endemic.
