Field and laboratory studies were carried out in October and November 2005 to provide a comparative evaluation of the performance of three rapid malaria detection tests, two of which were recently introduced (the CareStart™ Malaria test and the SD Malaria Antigen Bioline™ test) and the well-known OptiMAL-IT™ test. Compared with microscopy, the sensitivity of the three tests to detect Plasmodium falciparum malaria was 97% for the CareStart™ Malaria test, 89.4% for the SD Malaria Antigen Bioline™ test, and 92.6% for the OptiMAL-IT™ test. The three tests were less sensitive in detecting non-P. falciparum infections, and the sensitivity decreased at levels of parasitemia ≤ 500 parasites/μL for P. falciparum and ≤ 5,000 parasites/μL for other Plasmodium spp. On the basis of World Health Organization recommendations, only the CareStart™ Malaria test and the OptiMAL-IT™ test had sensitivities greater than 95% for samples with parasitemias ≥ 100 parasites/μL.
