Direct Answer
This rapid test detects Plasmodium falciparum HRP2 in WB to support Malaria. It is a colloidal-gold screening test — a reactive result is presumptive and should be confirmed per the intended use.
Intended Use
Detection of Plasmodium falciparum HRP2 antigen for malaria diagnosis.
Clinical Context
HRP2 is specific to P. falciparum (the most severe malaria species). WHO-recommended rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are standard in settings without microscopy.
Test Principle
Colloidal-gold immunochromatography (lateral flow). The device captures the target analyte (antigen or antibody) on a membrane via labeled antibodies, producing a visible test line within minutes. Qualitative or semi-quantitative, intended as a screening/triage aid — not a replacement for confirmatory laboratory testing.
Limitations
HRP2 can persist for weeks after treatment; HRP2 gene deletions can cause false negatives in some regions. Species-specific — does not detect P. vivax.
Procurement
Specimen: whole blood. Format: dipstick / cassette. CE-marked line.
Interpretation
| Result | Lines | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Positive | Test + control line | Target detected (presumptive positive) |
| Negative | Control line only | Below cut-off / not detected |
| Invalid | No control line | Repeat with a new device |
