AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a rapid molecular technique that has been introduced into malaria diagnosis. The test is easy to perform and offers high sensitivity. We report a 53-year-old male patient who was hospitalized with fever attacks, chills, and headache caused 9 months after returning from Africa. During his stay in Africa, he used malaria chemoprophylaxis. Microscopy of thin and thick blood films and rapid diagnostic antigen testing remained negative for three times. The EDTA blood samples were tested using the Meridian ® malaria LAMP assay that gave a positive result for spp. Diagnosis of malaria was subsequently specified as infection by real-time PCR. Ovale malaria often manifests with delay and low parasitemia. The patient was treated with atovaquone-proguanil, followed by primaquine for prophylaxis of relapse. This case illustrates the usefulness of the ® malaria LAMP assay for initial screening of malaria parasites.

Multiplex digital nucleic acid analysis (NAA) allows the precise quantification of multiple target nucleic acids with single-molecule sensitivity, making it highly appealing for life science research and clinical diagnostics. Nucleic acid-guided endonucleases, such as CRISPR, have demonstrated great potential in digital NAA. However, performing multiplex digital NAA with an endonuclease remains challenging.
