| comparison of three antigen detection tests for diagnosis and follow-up of falciparum malaria in travellers returning to berlin, germany. | we determined the sensitivity and specificity of three rapid immunochromatographic malarial antigen detection test systems (rdts) for the detection of plasmodium falciparumand assessed the quality of follow-up results. parasight-f and ict malaria detect histidine-rich protein-2 (hrp-2), whereas optimal detects plasmodial lactate dehydrogenase (pldh). parasight-f performed with 95.1% sensitivity and 97.1% specificity (554 patients tested of whom 144 had falciparum malaria). ict malaria performed ... | 2003 | 12632146 |
| avoiding misdiagnosis of imported malaria: screening of emergency department samples with thrombocytopenia detects clinically unsuspected cases. | misdiagnosis of imported malaria is not uncommon and even abnormal routine laboratory tests may not trigger malaria smears. however, blind screening of all thrombocytopenic samples might be a possible way to detect clinically unsuspected malaria cases in the accident and emergency department (aed). | 2003 | 12757689 |
| malaria transmission in non-endemic areas: case report, review of the literature and implications for public health management. | in non-endemic areas, malaria is rare and locally acquired infections, particularly with plasmodium falciparum, are exceptional events. the diagnosis is, therefore, likely to be delayed or missed in patients without a relevant travel history. this report describes a case of falciparum malaria in berlin, germany, in a patient who had not been to an endemic area for more than a decade. potential routes of vector-related and direct transmission were evaluated, particularly with regard to a possible ... | 2009 | 19379496 |
