Diagnostic workflow for visceral leishmaniasis (VL).
*As serological tests, the rapid rK39-based immunochromatographic test (ICT) was performed. Subsequently, the indirect immunofluorescence test (IFAT) was carried out for antibody titration in all ICT-positive cases. IFAT was also performed in PCR-positive/ ICT-negative cases and when test result for ICT was uncertain. BM, bone marrow.
