title: Trial with ParaSight-F in the detection of Plasmodium falciparum infection in Chennai (Tamil Nadu), India.
abstract: Efficacy of Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein (HRP-II) based diagnostic test ParaSight-F, was evaluated for diagnosis of P. falciparum malaria at the Malaria Clinic in Malaria Research Centre (Field Station), Chennai, Tamil Nadu. A total of 93 febrile patients were screened in parallel by microscopy and by ParaSight-F. The sensitivity and specificity of the test were 100% for the detection of P. falciparum infection.
