Rapid Diagnostic Testing for Plasmodium vivax and Nonfalciparum Malaria in Endemic Areas. CLINICAL QUESTION: How sensitive and specific are rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for diagnosing Plasmodium vivax and nonfalciparum malaria in endemic areas? BOTTOM LINE: Vivax-specific RDTs were highly sensitive and specific when compared with microscopy (the gold standard) for detecting P vivax malaria. RDTs that can only distinguish Plasmodium falciparum from nonfalciparum malaria were less sensitive.
