Evaluation of a new Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase assay (OptiMAL-IT®) for the detection of malaria

The new OptiMAL-IT® rapid diagnostic test for malaria was evaluated in 271 patients in Thailand withuncomplicated malaria between June and July 2002. The sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum parasites were 88% and 92%, respectively. For species other than P. falcipa...
