Author(s): Zhang Lei*, Yang Feng and Zhu Junzhe
Background: In the 21st century, malaria continues to be a serious public health threat. This infectious disease has been responsible for millions of deaths globally, especially in tropical regions. It is difficult to distinguish infection with Plasmodium causes clinical presentation from other fever-causing pathogens. Rapid and accurate diagnosis becomes important for effective malaria case management and surveillance. Although microscopy was once widely used in parasite-based malaria diagnosis, it was apt to face obstacles when using microscopy in peripheral health care settings. The landscape of malaria diagnostic testing has changed since malaria rapid tests were first commercialized in the early 1990s.
Objective: The main purpose of this evaluation report was to explore the reliability and performance of the All Test Malaria Rapid Test .. View More»
