Table 5.

Comparison of uRDT and cRDT sensitivity stratified by parasite density (p/µL) as determined by TBS

Group density (p/µL) # samples TBS (+) (reference) uRDT (+) uRDT sensitivity (95% CI) cRDT (+) cRDT sensitivity (95% CI)
< 1 0 0 0
1–10 15 5 33% (12–62) 2 13% (2–40)
11–50 5 5 100% (48–100) 4 80% (28–99)
51–100 2 2 100% (16–100) 2 100% (16–100)
> 100 2 1 50% (1–99) 1 50% (1–99)

Number of samples and sensitivity of uRDT and cRDT stratified by parasite density (p/µL). Diagnostic methods are compared to TBS as reference and all cases were low parasite density samples that occurred during CHMI follow-up
