Malaria is a potentially life-threatening disease requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment. Although microscopic examination of thick and thin blood films remains the gold standard for laboratory diagnosis, rapid antigen tests and nucleic acid amplification methods may also play a useful role in detection of acute infection. This review discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the commonly used diagnostic methods and provides important practice points for optimal malaria test utilization.
疟疾是一种可能危及生命的疾病,需要快速诊断和治疗。尽管对厚血膜和薄血膜进行显微镜检查仍然是实验室诊断的金标准,但快速抗原检测和核酸扩增方法在急性感染检测中也可能发挥有益作用。本综述讨论了常用诊断方法的优缺点,并为优化疟疾检测的使用提供了重要的实践要点。
