经过多年的发展，疟疾快速诊断检测现在正在许多非洲国家逐渐淘汰，以支持采用青蒿素类复方疗法。RDT为改善护理和作为研究工具创造了新的机会，但重要的是，研究议程继续应对许多挑战，包括操作和技术方面的挑战，这些挑战仍然需要得到满足。在这里，我们回顾什么是已知的，需要什么新的证据，以最大限度地发挥作用的RDTs在非洲。(C)2008年皇家热带医学和卫生学会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
After many years of development, rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for malaria are now being rotted out in many African countries to support the introduction of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACT). RDTs create new opportunities both for improved care and as research tools, but it is important that the research agenda continues to address the many challenges, both operational and technical, that stilt need to be met. Here we review what is known and what new evidence is needed to maximise the utility of RDTs in Africa. (C) 2008 Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
