Abstract

Background: The gold standard for diagnosing MALARIA in IRAN is using LIGHT MICROSCOPY; however, this method requires equipment, time and skilled microscopists. In some circumstances, rapid diagnostic test (RDTs) can be a proper substitute. Assessing the diagnostic performance of RDT relative to microscopy, for the diagnosis of MALARIA in Southeastern IRAN, Sistan and Baluchestan, was the purpose of this study.Methods: From March to July 2016, which was a peak transmission season in IRAN, 318 patients with suspected MALARIA were taken for a blood sample at the health center in Saravan, in Sistan and Baluchestan Province. The samples were surveyed instantly by LIGHT MICROSCOPY and RDT. Comparison analysis included: sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and other diagnostic screening performance measures for detecting MALARIA infections.Results: Of the 318 MALARIA cases (6.6%), 21 were identified by a microscopy compared to 22 of 318 (6.9%) by RDT. RDT sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of MALARIA were 95.5% (77.2% - 99.9%, 95% CI) and 100% (98.8% - 100%, 95% CI), respectively, compared to standard microscopy, the sensitivity and specificity forvivax MALARIA were 100% (79.4-100%, 95% CI) and 99.7% (98.14% - 99.99%, 95% CI), and forfalciparum MALARIA: 80% (28.4% - 99.5%, 95% CI) and 100% (98.8% - 100%, 95% CI). Two tests showed an amazing agreement with a kappa estimation of 0.975.Conclusions: The study proved that the RDT test performs appropriately for the identification of infections with P. falciparum and P. vivaxMALARIA in cross-border MALARIA. Moreover, the RDT can be a useful instrument for the identification of new clinical cases of MALARIA in this region.
