Repeated sampling improved the sensitivity of malaria microscopy in children under six years
OBJECTIVE: Microscopy remains the gold standard for identification of malaria parasites. However, the sensitivity of malaria microscopy is low. This study evaluated the impact of repeated sampling up to 12 h in 177 children < 6 years with suspected malaria. RESULTS: The median age was 3 years (in...
