Sensitivity and specificity of malaria LAMP in truly positive and negative hemolytic malaria samples according to the case definitions as presented in the Materials and Methods section

	Sensitivity	Specificity
Plasmodium genus-specific LAMP	100% (168/168)	91.1% (72/79)
P. falciparum LAMP	92.0% (126/137)	99.1% (107/108)
P. vivax LAMP	100% (16/16)	100% (230/230)
P. malariae LAMP	100% (3/3)	99.2% (243/245)
P. ovale LAMP	100% (8/8)	95.0% (228/240)
P. knowlesi LAMP	n.a.	98.4% (242/246)

n.a. = not assessable. Different total numbers of assessments are due to varying volumes of available residual sample material, not allowing for performing all assays with all samples.
