Comparison of capillary and venous blood for malaria detection using two PCR-based assays in febrile patients in Sierra Leone
Abstract
Rapid and sensitive diagnostics are critical tools for clinical case management and public health control efforts. Both capillary and venous blood are currently used for malaria detection and while diagnostic technologies may not be equally sensitive with both materials, the published data on this subject are scarce and not conclusive.
