The Diagnostic Performance of a Sysmex <scp>XN</scp>‐31 Automated Malaria Analyzer vs. Expert Microscopy

The Sysmex XN-31 analyzer provides a quick and accurate method for the diagnosis of malaria. It detects, quantifies, and speciates plasmodium infections in less than 1 minute. Our study showed that the analyzer shows high sensitivity and specificity comparable to those of expert microscopy in detecting Plasmodium species, making it a promising alternative to current diagnostic methods. By overcoming the numerous limitations of existing tests, the XN-31 proves to be well-suited for malaria testing, especially in malaria-endemic regions.
