No Evidence of False-negative P. Falciparum Rapid Diagnostic Results in Monrovia, Liberia

2021-01-28

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> Malaria diagnosis relies mainly on the use of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs). The majority of commercial RDTs used in Africa detect the <italic>Plasmodium falciparum</italic> histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2). <italic>pfhrp2/3</italic> gene deletions can therefore lead to false-negative RDT results. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of PCR-confirmed, fal...
