Evaluation of the Performance of a hsRDT Versus cRDT in Reactive Case Detection of Malaria Infections

NCT03511443 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 1980

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A systematic review assessing the role, appropriateness and benefits of the active case detection strategy, both proactive and reactive, in low malaria transmission settings. A common indication is that more studies should be carried out to optimize the ACD strategy to the local context, or to provide evidence for the adoption of improved methods. One possible improved method is the use of more accurate diagnostic tools, such as the hsRDT proposed in this study, with an increased capacity to detect lower levels of parasitemia. It can provide a timely and relevant contribution for their development of national Standard Operating Procedures for a screening tool in the reactive case detection strategy.
