The ICT Malaria Pf test for the detection of Plasmodium falciparum infection was evaluated in the diagnosis of 305 patients with fever who were admitted to a hospital located on the Thai-Myanmar border. All patients were admitted for at least one week to exclude reinfection. The test was performed using admission blood samples collected into ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the test were 92.7%, 95.1% and 94.7% respectively, compared to standard microscopic diagnosis. The ICT Malaria Pf test is an accurate method for the diagnosis of P. falciparum infection. Its simplicity and rapidity make it particularly appropriate for use in remote areas where microscopic examination of blood films is unavailable.
在泰国-缅甸边境一家医院对305名发热住院患者进行诊断时，对用于检测恶性疟原虫感染的ICT疟疾Pf检测进行了评估。所有患者均住院至少一周以排除再次感染。检测使用收集到乙二胺四乙酸中的入院血样进行。与标准显微镜诊断相比，该检测的灵敏度、特异性和准确性分别为92.7%、95.1%和94.7%。ICT疟疾Pf检测是诊断恶性疟原虫感染的一种准确方法。其简单性和快速性使其特别适用于无法进行血片显微镜检查的偏远地区。
