Malaria Antigen Rapid testing

. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, which are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes.
. The primary species responsible for human malaria are P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, and P. ovale, with P. falciparum being the most dangerous due to its potential to cause severe complications, including cerebral malaria and organ failure.
. Malaria should always be considered in patients who have a history of exposure (mostly: past travel or residence in disease-endemic areas such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Africa).
. Initially, the symptoms resemble those of the flu. Common symptoms of malaria include spikes of fever, chills, sweating, headache, fatigue, muscle aches, and nausea, which can progress rapidly in severe cases.
. The Malaria Ag rapid test is a diagnostic tool designed to quickly detect the presence of Plasmodium antigens in blood, particularly targeting P. falciparum and P. vivax, the two most prevalent species.
. This test aids in the early detection of malaria, enabling timely treatment to reduce disease severity and prevent complications.
