Accuracy of a dual path platform (DPP) assay for the rapid point-of-care diagnosis of human leptospirosis.

Accuracy of a dual path platform (DPP) assay for the rapid point-of-care diagnosis of human leptospirosis.

BACKGROUND:Diagnosis of leptospirosis by the gold standard serologic assay, the microscopic agglutination test (MAT), requires paired sera and is not widely available.
