Plasmodium falciparum histidine rich protein-2 diversity and the implications for PfHRP 2: based malaria rapid diagnostic tests in Ghana

Table 3 Prevalence of pfhrp2− in false negative PfHRP-2 RDT test determined by PCR

Samples that were confirmed as P. falciparum positive by PCR genotyping were grouped according to their PfHRP-2 RDT result, PfHRP-2 RDT positive (PfHRP-2 RDT+) or PfHRP-2 RDT negative (PfHRP-2 RDT−). pfhrp2 exon 2 PCR amplification was performed on each sample to estimate effect of the presence of absence of pfhrp2 on malaria diagnosis by PfHRP-2 RDT kits
