Dear Colleagues.
In spite of all recent development on diagnosis, I think human serodiagnosis in hospitals is still a challenge. DAT was suggested by WHO as the test of choice because of its high sensitivity and specificity, and possibly also because of its low costs. But it has some drawbacks. It would be very interesting to have Abdallah El Harith (DAT) and other scientists dedicated to this question participating in a round table focused on the practical use of their tests for human diagnosis in hospitals.
