A comparison of RDT and nPCR Results Among All Samples and Excluding Low-Density Infections

Sample Group	nPCR Positive, No.	nPCR Negative, No.	Total, No.
All samples
RDT positive	125	60	185
RDT negativea	37	303	340
Total	162	363	525
Excluding samples with parasite density <100/µL
RDT positive	99	60	159
RDT negativea	9	303	312
Total	108	363	471

Abbreviations: nPCR, nested polymerase chain reaction; RDT, rapid diagnostic test.

^aRDT-negative samples with nPCR results represented 31.2% of all RDT-negative samples selected for quality assurance.
