Abstract

Background: The use of RDT (Rapid diagnostic tests) for malaria offers the potential to extend accurate malaria diagnosis to areas where microscopy services are not available. Objective: To evaluate the performance of SD FK80 test kit for the diagnosis of malaria and assess the trend of malaria transmission in Adama Malaria Center, southeast Ethiopia. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted to evaluate the performance of SD FK80 kit for malaria (P.falciparum/P.vavix) diagnosis November to December 2012 at Adama Malaria Center, Southeastern Oromia. Three hundred eighty four blood samples were collected from febrile patients attending the outpatient department of Adama Malaria Center during the study period. The blood samples were analyzed with microscopy and RDT (SD Bioline P.falciparum /P.vivax) for the detection and identification of Plasmodium parasites. The data was entered into Microsoft® Excel and was transported to SPSS version 17.0 for statistical analysis. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the tests was calculated using microscopy as the reference standard. Result: Among the examined individuals, 107(27.9%) were found to be positive for plasmodium infection of which 23.7% were infected with P.vavix, and 3.9% were infected with P.falciparum while 0.3% were mixed infections The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive values of the SD Bioline were 90.7%, 96%, 89.8%, and 96.4%, respectively taking blood film as a gold standard. SD Bioline FK80 P.falciparum/P.vivax was performed satisfactorily for the diagnosis of P.falciparum and P.vivax infections. Conclusion: Based on our finding, Rapid test kit is satisfactory for diagnosis of P.falciparum and P.vivax infections. It is a useful adjunct to microscopy especially in our country where there is limited man power and resource.
