Key points
The Crystal® VC Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) can provide an early warning to public health officials that an outbreak of cholera is occurring but cannot confirm an individual case. Fecal specimens that test positive by RDT for Vibrio cholerae O1 or O139 should be sent to the laboratory for confirmation by a validated method.
