Abstract

922 www.thelancet.com/infection Vol 14 October 2014 Paul Drain and colleagues proposed a standard set of criteria to assess the diagnostic accuracy, clinical effect, and costs of point-of-care (POC) tests in low-income countries (LICs). We agree with the authors on the need to improve access to rapid diagnostics in LICs, and we add several factors based on our own research on POC testing for common infections through our work at the Point-of-care tests: where is the point?
