Sensitivity and specificity of point-of-care circulating Cathodic antigen test before and after praziquantel treatment in diagnosing Schistosoma mansoni infection in adult population co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus-1, North-Western Tanzania

BACKGROUND: The effect of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) on CD4(+) Th(2) cells is hypothesized to affect parasitological diagnosis of Schistosoma mansoni using Kato Katz technique.
