【 摘 要 】

Malaria is routinely diagnosed using the thick blood smear test. However, this technique requires the training of microscopists and may be time-consuming. A concordance study was conducted on two dipstick tests (Optimal-IT® and ICT P.f./P.v.®) and the thick blood smear test, within primary healthcare in Manaus.
