WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Microscopy is the gold standard for parasitological confirmation, but the accuracy of microscopic diagnosis is influenced by the skill of the technicians. An alternative is the immunologic-based malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs).
WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: Our study evaluated standard microscopy in health system (SMHS) and mRDTs for focused screening and treatment of malaria (FSAT) in Southern Tanzania. We showed that mRDTs were more sensitive than local SMHS for diagnosing malaria infection.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICES?: Malaria rapid diagnostic tests can be useful as an alternative to SMHS for FSAT in the local context of Tanzania.
关于该主题已知的信息有哪些？：显微镜检查是寄生虫学确诊的金标准，但显微镜诊断的准确性受技术人员技能的影响。另一种方法是基于免疫的疟疾快速诊断检测（mRDTs）。
本报告新增了哪些内容？：我们的研究评估了坦桑尼亚南部卫生系统标准显微镜检查（SMHS）和用于疟疾重点筛查与治疗（FSAT）的mRDTs。我们发现，在诊断疟疾感染方面，mRDTs比当地的SMHS更敏感。
对公共卫生实践有哪些启示？：在坦桑尼亚当地，疟疾快速诊断检测可作为FSAT中替代SMHS的有用方法。
