Systematic review and meta-analysis: rapid diagnostic tests versus placental histology, microscopy and PCR for malaria in pregnant women

Johanna H Kattenberg, Eleanor A Ochodo, Kimberly R Boer, Henk DFH Schallig, Petra F Mens, Mariska MG Leeflang Malaria Journal 2011, 10:321 (28 October 2011)

A thorough review of malaria diagnostic comparisons for the detection of malaria in pregnancy. The paper demonstrates that most of the available information is from Africa and involves the detection of P. falciparum, while our knowledge of issues outside Africa and for the detection of non-falciparum species are very limited.
