Official title:
Evaluation of the Clinical Performance of the STANDARD™ Q Malaria/CRP Duo Test (SD Biosensor, South Korea) for the Diagnosis of Malaria and the Detection of C-reactive Protein (CRP) in Fingerprick Blood of Febrile Patients
The aim of this study is to assess the clinical performance (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values) of the STANDARD™ Q Malaria/CRP Duo Test when used by health care workers (HW) in a point of care (POC) setting in malaria endemic areas in India.
