Results: A total of 5321 laboratory requests comprising 4506 malaria parasites (MP), 414 urine microscopy, culture and sensitivity (urine m/c/s), and 410 blood culture were made, processed and reports generated. Of these, 1040 (19.6%) were not collected or delivered to the requesting physician. Urine m/c/s with 37.9% (157/414) accounted for the highest test-specific non-collected reports, close...

By enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with group A-, subgroup-, and serotype-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), we tested 414 stool specimens collected from pediatric and adult patients hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis between January and June 1988.
