Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests and Malaria Microscopy for Guiding Malaria Treatment of Uncomplicated Fevers in Nigeria and Prereferral Cases in 3 African Countries
Conclusions. RDTs are useful in guiding malaria management and were successfully used for diagnosis by trained CHWs. However, false-negative RDT results were identified and can undermine confidence in results and control efforts. (Source: Clinical Infectious Diseases)
