We report a case of misdiagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum malaria from Brazil with negative PfHRP2-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), leading to inappropriate case management. Genetic tests showed the deletion of both pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 genes. The detection of two distinct P. falciparum target antigens is then advisable.
我们报告了一例来自巴西的恶性疟原虫疟疾病例的误诊,基于 PfHRP2 的快速诊断检测(RDT)呈阴性,导致病例管理不当。基因检测显示 pfhrp2 和 pfhrp3 基因均缺失。因此,建议检测两种不同的恶性疟原虫靶抗原。
