A comparison of three diagnostic techniques for malaria: a rapid diagnostic test (NOW Malaria), PCR and microscopy.
Malaria is a common, life-threatening infection in endemic tropical areas and one that presents a diagnostic challenge to laboratories in most non-endemic countries. A rapid and accurate diagnosis is a prerequisite for effective treatment, especially for the potentially fatal cases of Plasmodium falciparum infection. In the present, multi-centre study, the performances of a rapid diagnostic tes...
متن کاملDetecting Malaria Hotspots: A Comparison of Rapid Diagnostic Test, Microscopy, and Polymerase Chain Reaction
Background Malaria control strategies need to respond to geographical hotspots of transmission. Detection of hotspots depends on the sensitivity of the diagnostic tool used. Methods We conducted cross-sectional surveys in 3 sites within Kilifi County, Kenya, that had variable transmission intensities. Rapid diagnostic test (RDT), microscopy, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to de...
متن کاملA review of malaria diagnostic tools: microscopy and rapid diagnostic test (RDT).
The absolute necessity for rational therapy in the face of rampant drug resistance places increasing importance on the accuracy of malaria diagnosis. Giemsa microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) represent the two diagnostics most likely to have the largest impact on malaria control today. These two methods, each with characteristic strengths and limitations, together represent the best h...
متن کاملStudy on validity of a rapid diagnostic test kit versus light microscopy for malaria diagnosis in Ahmedabad city, India.
Light microscopy of blood smears for diagnosis of malaria in the field has several limitations, notably delays in diagnosis. This study in Ahmedabad in Gujarat State, India, evaluated the diagnostic performance of a rapid diagnostic test for malaria (SD Bioline Malaria Ag P.f/Pan) versus blood smear examination as the gold standard. All fever cases presenting at 13 urban health centres were sub...
متن کاملComparison of Rapid Immunochromatographic Assays (ict Malaria P.f. /p.v. Test and Optimal Test) with Microscopy for Detection of Malaria Parasites
This study was conducted to compare the ability of developed immunochromatographic assays, ICT malaria P.f./P.v. test and OptiMAL test with standard microscopy for the diagnosis of malaria parasites. Blood samples were obtained from 150 patients clinically suspected of having malaria. A total of 59 samples (39.3%) were positive by blood films while 64 (42.7%) were positive by ICT p.f./p.v. and ...
