| RDT positive results categorization | Malaria microscopy | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Concordant | Discordant | % agreement | |
| PfHRP2+/pLDH+ (n = 36) | 36 | 0 | 100.00 |
| PfHRP2+/pLDH− (n = 52) | 18 | 34 | 52.9 |
| PfHRP2−/pLDH+ (n = 3) | 3 | 0 | 100.0 |
| Total | 57 | 34 | |
RDT rapid diagnostic test, PfHRP2 Plasmodium falciparum specific histidine rich protein 2, pLDH Plasmodium specific lactate dehydrogenase, PfHRP2+/pLDH+ both HRP2 and pLDH detected in donor blood, PfHRP2+/pLDH− HRP2 but not pLDH detected in donor blood, PfHRP2−/pLDH+ LDH but not HRP2 detected in donor blood (HRP2 gene deletion)
