Sensitivity of the pLDH-component of the First Response RDT by parasite count. Wide horizontal bars indicate sensitivity. Vertical lines represent 95% confidence intervals. Among patients with P. knowlesi infection, 18 (14%) had <103 parasites/μl, 52 (40%) had 103 to <104 parasites/μl, 41 (32%) had 104 to <105 parasites/μl, and 18 (14%) had >105 parasites/μl. Among patients with P. falciparum infection, 10 (8%) had <103 parasites/μl, 42 (35%) had 103 to <104 parasites/μl, 60 (50%) had 104 to <105 parasites/μl, and 9 (7%) had >105 parasites/μl. Among patients with P. vivax infection, 8 (19%) had <103 parasites/μl, 21 (49%) had 103 to <104 parasites/μl, and 14 (33%) had 104 to <105 parasites/μl.
