摘要
We used the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method developed by our group for malaria diagnosis with genus-specific and species-specific primers for the four human malaria parasites at a field clinic in comparison with standard microscopy. Among 110 blood samples collected from the malaria clinic in Thailand, LAMP detected 59 of 60 samples positive by microscopy (sensitivity = 98.3%) and none of the 50 microscopy-negative samples (specificity = 100%). Negative predictive value (NPV) and positive predictive value (PPV) of LAMP were 98% and 100%, respectively. These results indicate that LAMP is an effective tool for malaria diagnosis at a field clinic in a field setting.
