title: [Diagnosis of the first imported case of Plasmodium ovale infection at Guangdong Port].
abstract: The first imported case of Plasmodium ovale infection in Guangdong Province was identified. The patient worked in Myanmar for one week and had a fever when he arrived at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. Epidemiological information and blood sample were collected. The detection was conducted by microscopy, right VIEW rapid malaria test (RDTs) and real-time PCR with Plasmodium genus-specific and species-specific primers and probes. The case showed weak positive RDT result, and was confirmed as P. ovale infection by microscopy and real-time PCR. After treatment with artemether, his symptoms improved.
