Article Synopsis
- The laboratory conducted an investigation on malaria detection using three methods: May Giemsa staining (MG), acridine orange staining (AO), and the NOW ICT antigen detection kit (Ag).
- Out of 207 requests, 15 patients tested positive for malaria, with cases primarily linked to Africa and Southeast Asia, and a high correlation in detection rates between the methods used (94.4% and 96.9%).
- The findings indicated that both MG and the antigen detection kit had comparable sensitivity, suggesting that using the antigen detection kit could be a reliable option for routine testing in laboratories.
