Product code : PKRK006

Malaria remains one of the most serious tropical and subtropical diseases in many countries of the world. It is characterized by fever, chills and anaemia and is caused by a parasite that is transmitted from one human to another by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Humans are hosts for four main Plasmodium species: P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae. In humans the parasite called sporozoites migrate to the liver and release another form called merozoites. Globally, ~50% of infections are caused due to P. vivax, ~40% are due to P. falciparum, ~ 10% due to P. malariae and <1% to P. ovale. The disease now occurs in more than 90 countries worldwide, and it is estimated that there are over 500 million clinical cases and 2.7 million malaria-caused deaths per year. At present, malaria is diagnosed by looking for the parasites in a drop of blood. Blood will be put into a microscope slide and stained so that the parasites will be visible under a microscope.

FAQs

The Malaria Pf/Pv Rapid Test Kit is a diagnostic tool that detects two of the most common Plasmodium parasite species causing malaria: Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and Plasmodium vivax (Pv). It helps in the quick and easy identification of a current malaria infection.

This test kit provides several advantages:

  • Rapid diagnosis: Delivers results within 15-20 minutes.
  • Easy to use: No need for specialized equipment or extensive training.
  • Differentiation of species: Helps distinguish between Pf and Pv infections, crucial for proper treatment decisions.
  • Point-of-care testing: Enables testing in remote areas without access to advanced laboratory facilities.

This rapid test utilizes a technique called lateral flow chromatography. A blood sample is applied to the test strip, where it reacts with specific antibodies. The presence of Pf or Pv antigens in the blood will be indicated by a visible line on the strip.

If you experience symptoms like fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, or fatigue, particularly after visiting a malaria-endemic region, this test can be helpful for a quick diagnosis.

A positive result indicates the presence of either Pf or Pv malaria parasites. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional immediately for proper diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring.

A negative result doesn't necessarily rule out malaria entirely. If symptoms persist, consider further evaluation by a healthcare professional, which might involve additional tests like microscopy.
