On the use of rapid diagnostic test kits for malaria.
The Permanente Journal/ Spring 2007/ Volume 11 No. 2 Since I wrote in The Permanente Journal (TPJ) (Fall 2005) about post-tsunami malaria in Indonesia, there have been several requests from TPJ readers regarding access to and anticipated availability of rapid diagnostic test kits (RDTs) for malaria. It is with regret that I relate that there is no intent to market these in the United States. Th...
متن کاملUse of Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Test to Identify Plasmodium knowlesi Infection
Reports of human infection with Plasmodium knowlesi, a monkey malaria, suggest that it and other nonhuman malaria species may be an emerging health problem. We report the use of a rapid test to supplement microscopic analysis in distinguishing the 5 malaria species that infect humans.
متن کاملMalaria rapid diagnostic test use for the malaria elimination policy in the tropics
Malaria is an infectious disease caused by blood borne parasites of the Plasmodium genus, so malaria diagnosis plays a pivotal role in the malaria control policy. Historically, examination of a small blood sample by microscopy has been the routine diagnostic method. Currently, a field adapted, point of care malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDT) has been developed to provide this key element, pa...
متن کاملField 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 کاملSimple sample processing enhances malaria rapid diagnostic test performance.
Lateral flow immunochromatographic rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are the primary form of medical diagnostic used for malaria in underdeveloped nations. Unfortunately, many of these tests do not detect asymptomatic malaria carriers. In order for eradication of the disease to be achieved, this problem must be solved. In this study, we demonstrate enhancement in the performance of six RDT brands w...
