摘要：
Objective: To assess the performance of OptiMAL (R), a rapid malaria antigen capture dipstick, in diagnosing congenital malaria. Methods: Live newborns aged 0-3 days, delivered at Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, Nigeria between August 2004 and January 2005, were screened for malaria parasitaemia with an immuno-chromatographic test (OptiMAL (R)) and blood film microscopy. OptiMAL (R) detects plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH). Results: Twenty-one of 192 newborns (10.9%) were diagnosed with congenital malaria by blood film microscopy. The OptiMAL (R) test was negative in all infants. Conclusion: OptiMAL (R) rapid malaria antigen capture dipstick might not be useful for diagnosing malaria parasitaemia in newborns. Blood film microscopy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of congenital malaria.
