Comparative feasibility of implementing rapid diagnostic test and microscopy for parasitological diagnosis of malaria in Uganda

Vincent Batwala, Pascal Magnussen, Fred Nuwaha Malaria Journal 2011, 10:373 (19 December 2011)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed |  Editor’s summary

In Uganda, parasite-based diagnosis is recommended for every patient suspected to have malaria before prescribing anti-malarials. The study showed that it was more feasible to implement parasite-based diagnosis for malaria using RDT than with microscopy, but a high proportion of patients with negative results were still prescribed anti-malarials.
