The leishmaniases in Kenya: a scoping review sub-analysis of diagnostics.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Leishmaniasis poses a significant public health problem in Kenya, where effective case management and treatment rely on accurate diagnosis. This review aims to summarise the research landscape on leishmaniasis diagnostics in Kenya and identify gaps.

The field of diagnostics was chosen because of recent pushes for novel tools and because of the role timely diagnosis plays in disease elimination.
