PY - 2019 DA - 2019/05/31 TI - The XN-30 hematology analyzer for rapid sensitive detection of malaria: a diagnostic accuracy study JO - BMC Medicine SP - 103 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - Accurate and timely diagnosis of malaria is essential for disease management and surveillance. Thin and thick blood smear microscopy and malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are standard malaria diagnostics, but both methods have limitations. The novel automated hematology analyzer XN-30 provides standard complete blood counts (CBC) as well as quantification of malaria parasitemia at the price of a CBC. This study assessed the accuracy of XN-30 for malaria detection in a controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) study and a phase 3 diagnostic accuracy study in Burkina Faso.
