Laser desorption-time of flight (LD-TOF) mass spectrometry-based detection of hemozoin was assessed for its performance characteristics as a rapid screening test for malaria. In spite of good specificity of >95%, poor sensitivity of 80.2% for microscopically positive samples makes the easy-to-apply and rapid approach unsuitable for the routine diagnostic setting.
基于激光解吸飞行时间(LD-TOF)质谱的血晶检测作为疟疾的快速筛选试验,其性能特征得到了评估。尽管特异性>95%,但对显微镜阳性样本的敏感性仅为 80.2%,这使得这种易于应用和快速的方法不适合常规诊断环境。
