Diagnostic performance of ultrasensitive rapid diagnostic test for the detection of Plasmodium falciparum infections in asymptomatic individuals in Kisangani, Northeast Democratic Republic of Congo

Description

The ultrasensitive rapid diagnostic test (usRDT) improves detection of low-density Plasmodium falciparum infections. Its performance remains unevaluated in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This study assesses the diagnostic accuracy of usRDT for malaria in asymptomatic individuals under field conditions in Kisangani, northeastern DRC.
