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

The authors show that RDT reduced the number of malaria treatments given, but question the sensitivity of the tests.
