Multiplexed Isothermal Amplification Assay for the Detection of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> and <i>Trichomonas vaginalis</i> in Urine
copies/μL in processed human urine, demonstrating clinically relevant sensitivity for noninvasive, multiplexed detection. However, use with a neat urine sample requires a processing step that may limit POC use. In our clinics in Kenya, we process samples nearby, and a fast molecular test that does not require thermocycling, with a turnaround time within the span of a typical prenatal visit, will positively impact our patients.
