False-negative RDT results (real-time PCR as reference test): microscopy results and parasite density
| Discrepancy | N | Microscopy positive | Parasitemia* by qPCR |
|---|---|---|---|
| False-negative RDT (ref real-time PCR) | 9 (1.4%) | 2/8 (25%) | All had parasitemia < 200 p/μL |
| Median: 1.1, IQR: 0.47–20.6 p/μL |
IQR = interquartile range; qPCR = quantitative polymerase chain reaction; RDT = rapid diagnostic test.
