研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this Study is to compare the performance of a new malaria diagnostic device(Gazelle) with the current malaria diagnostic technologies such as RDT (Rapid Diagnostic Test),microscopy and PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). The study rationale is that Hemex Malariadevice (Gazelle) is faster, easier and comparable to (as good as) microscopy and/or has betteraccuracy for malaria parasites than RDTs, regardless of the species. The study enrollsapproximately 200 patients who presents with fever to the clinic and each patient sample will betested with Gazelle and RDT, and then compare with microscopy and PCR.
