Field evaluation of a malaria rapid diagnostic test (ICT Pf).
BACKGROUND Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (MRDTs) are quick and easy to perform and useful for diagnosing malaria in primary health care settings. In South Africa most malaria infections are due to Plasmodium falciparurrm, and HRPII-based MRDTs have been used since 2001. Previous studies in Africa showed variability in sensitivity and specificity of HRPII-based MRDTs; hence, we conducted a fiel...
متن کاملEvaluation of a PfHRP2 and a pLDH-based Rapid Diagnostic Test for the Diagnosis of Severe Malaria in 2 Populations of African Children
BACKGROUND Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) now play an important role in the diagnosis of falciparum malaria in many countries where the disease is endemic. Although these tests have been extensively evaluated in uncomplicated falciparum malaria, reliable data on their performance for diagnosing potentially lethal severe malaria is lacking. METHODS We compared a Plasmodium falciparum histidine-...
متن کاملthe effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test

Malaria can be diagnosed using several approaches including clinical presumptive diagnosis, microscopy, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and malaria rapid diagnostic tests (MRDTs),1 of which microscopy remains the ‘gold standard’.2 Since microscopy requires highly skilled staff, electricity, microscopes and laboratory reagents, its use is restricted to ...
