Abstract
A survey of asymptomatic children in Uganda showed Plasmodium malariae and P. falciparum parasites in 45% and 55% of microscopy-positive samples, respectively. Although 36% of microscopy-positive samples were negative by rapid diagnostic test, 75% showed P. malariae or P. ovale parasites by PCR, indicating that routine diagnostic testing misses many non-P. falciparum malarial infections.
摘要
乌干达一项针对无症状儿童的调查显示，在显微镜检查呈阳性的样本中，分别有45%和55%的样本检测出三日疟原虫和恶性疟原虫。尽管36%显微镜检查呈阳性的样本经快速诊断检测呈阴性，但75%的样本通过聚合酶链反应检测出三日疟原虫或卵形疟原虫，这表明常规诊断检测遗漏了许多非恶性疟原虫的疟疾感染。
