Clinical Evaluation of a Loop-Mediated Amplification Kit for Diagnosis of Imported Malaria
Background. Diagnosis of malaria relies on parasite detection by microscopy or antigen detection; both fail to detect low-density infections. New tests providing rapid, sensitive diagnosis with minimal need for training would enhance both malaria diagnosis and malaria control activities. We determin...
