<i>Plasmodium falciparum pfhrp2</i>and<i>pfhrp3</i>gene deletions among patients enrolled at 100 health facilities throughout Tanzania: February to July 2021

2023-08-05

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium falciparum with the histidine rich protein 2 gene ( pfhrp2 ) deleted from its genome can escape diagnosis by HRP2-based rapid diagnostic tests (HRP2-RDTs). The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends switching to a non-HRP2 RDT for P. falciparum clinical case diagnosis when pfhrp2 deletion prevalence causes ≥ 5% of RDTs to return false negative results.
