Sensitivity and specificity of LAMP in detecting malaria parasite infection in endemic areas of Binh Phuoc province in 2017
The study was conducted in two communes with seasonal, mesoendemic malaria area of Binh Phuoc province, using giemsa technique and LAMP technique to detect malaria parasites. The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of malaria parasites in the community and to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity and predictive value of LAMP compare giemsa technique (gold standard). As a result, 384 samples of human blood were collected and analyzed: The prevalence of malaria parasitic by giemsa was 0.52% (2/384) and LAMP was 4.43 % (17/384). The sensitivity of the LAMP technique is 100% (02/02), the specificity is 96.07% (367/382). Positive predictive value is 11.76% (2/17), negative predictive value is 100% (367/367).
