Diagnostic performance of an ultrasensitive HRP2-based malaria rapid diagnostic test kit used in surveys of afebrile people living in Southern Ghana

Festus K. Acquah et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the diagnostic performance of two malaria rapid diagnostic test kits in Ghana, with the UsmRDT kit showing higher sensitivity and specificity compared to the mRDT kit. The UsmRDT kit correctly identified more asymptomatic P. falciparum carriers, highlighting its advantage for targeted treatment interventions in malaria endemic settings.
