MALARIA HRP-2/pan pLDH TEST, wb,1test (Parascreen)

CAUTION

This test is worded and codified by unit to make the order easier, but it is always packaged in kit of 25 tests.

Definition

Immunochromatographic rapid test for the qualitative detection of Pf HRP-II (P. falciparum specific "Histidine Rich Protein-II") and Pan pLDH (Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase of P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae and P. ovale).

Used for the diagnosis of malaria caused by P. falciparum and, differentially but without distinction between these three species: P. vivax, P. malariae or P. ovale.

MSF requirements

Different tests for malaria testing are proposed in this catalogue. To decide which one to choose, please refer to your laboratory or/and malaria advisor.

Malaria tests of different brands are not interchangeable because the testing procedures are different. Before start using a new test brand read the testing procedure carefully.

High detection rate. No need for additional equipment.

Note

Due to current difficulties to procure quality-assured sources of pan pLDH tests, only HRP2 based tests or combo tests are available even for hyper- and holo-endemic areas with intense seasonal transmission. Please refer to your laboratory or/and malaria advisor to define the best option in your case.
