The Use of Rapid Malaria Diagnostic Tests, Second Edition

Misdiagnosis of malaria results in significant morbidity and mortality. Rapid, accurate and accessible detection of malaria parasites has an important role in addressing this, and in promoting more rational use of increasingly costly drugs, in many endemic areas. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) offer the potential to provide accurate diagnostic to all at-risk populations for the first time, reaching those unable to access good quality microscopy services.
