Before an empiric malaria treatment program, >60% of Liberian refugees had malaria on arrival to Minnesota. We compared microscopy with rapid antigen testing for detecting asymptomatic parasitemia. Nine of 103 (8.7%) had malaria by polymerase chain reaction (blood smear and rapid testing had a sensitivity of 22%). The empiric treatment program has decreased the rate of imported asymptomatic malaria. Blood film and rapid antigen testing are poor screening tests.
在实施经验性疟疾治疗项目之前，超过60%的利比里亚难民抵达明尼苏达州时患有疟疾。我们比较了显微镜检查和快速抗原检测在检测无症状寄生虫血症方面的效果。103人中有9人（8.7%）通过聚合酶链反应检测出患有疟疾（血涂片和快速检测的灵敏度为22%）。经验性治疗项目降低了输入性无症状疟疾的发病率。血涂片和快速抗原检测是较差的筛查检测方法。
