Which malaria test kit should you stock?
Most malaria in Kenya is caused by P. falciparum, so Pf (HRP2) kits cover most clinic and program needs. Pf/Pan kits add detection of other species, which helps hospitals and clinics seeing travellers.
Reading malaria RDT results
- HRP2 can stay in the blood for weeks after successful treatment, so a Pf line soon after treatment does not prove treatment failure.
- Some P. falciparum parasites carry pfhrp2/3 gene deletions and can give a negative result on HRP2-only kits. WHO tracks these deletions, and Pf/Pan kits add a second target.
- Read the result inside the time window on the insert. Late readings are not valid.
- Store kits within the temperature range on the box and use them before expiry.
