Assessment of a highly sensitive rapid diagnostic test for reactive case detection of Plasmodium Falciparum infections in Myanmar
Although hsRDTs identified more infected contacts than cRDTs during reactive case detection, they have low overall sensitivity compared to usPCR. In resource-limited settings, such as Myanmar, the use of hsRDTs in RACD should be guided by careful consideration of their field feasibility and cost-effectiveness to support malaria elimination efforts.
