Malaria Antigen Report Format

The report indicates that Mr. Dummy, a 27-year-old male, tested negative for both IgG and IgM malaria antigens on November 15, 2024. The test is designed to detect and differentiate between P. falciparum and P. vivax infections, but a negative result does not exclude infections by other malaria species. It is emphasized that results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical history and epidemiological context.

Malaria antigen detection-whole blood


Four species of the plasmodium parasites are responsible for human malaria infections: P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale and P.
malariae. Early detection and differentiation of malaria is of paramount importance due to incidence of cerebral malaria and drug
resistance associated with P. falciparum malaria causing most of the morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Test Utility
The current test is a qualitative test for detection of the P. falciparum specific histidine rich protein-2 (Pf. HRP-2) and P. vivax specific
lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH) in whole blood samples. The assay is able to detect and distinguish P. vivax and P. falciparum
infections and also identify mixed infections.

Notes & Limitations


The test detects P. falciparum specific HRP-2 and P. vivax specific LDH, a negative test result does not rule out infection with P. ovale
and P. malariae. Constant exposure to the malarial parasites, as seen in areas of high endemicity, may result in positive results with
doubtful clinical significance. Hence, the results must always be correlated with clinical history and relevant epidemiological and
therapeutic context.
