Are rapid diagnostic tests more accurate in diagnosis of plasmodium falciparum malaria compared to microscopy at rural health centres?
(Malaria Journal, 2010-01)
Background: Prompt, accurate diagnosis and treatment with artemisinin combination therapy remains vital to current malaria control. Blood film microscopy the current standard test for diagnosis of malaria has several ...
Challenges to implementation of artemisinin combination therapy policy in Uganda.
(Elsevier Ltd, 2010-08-07)
Uganda launched an artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) policy in 2006, using artemether-lumefantrine (AL) as first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria, but insufficient information is available regarding its ...
Cost-effectiveness of malaria microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests versus presumptive diagnosis: implications for malaria control in Uganda
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2011)
Current Uganda National Malaria treatment guidelines recommend parasitological confirmation either by microscopy or rapid diagnostic test (RDT) before treatment with artemether-lumefantrine (AL). However, the cost-effectiveness ...
Antibiotic use among patients with febrile illness in a low malaria endemicity setting in Uganda.
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2011)
Uganda embraced the World Health Organization guidelines that recommend a universal ‘test and treat’ strategy for malaria, mainly by use of rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and microscopy. However, little is known how increased ...

Comparative feasibility of implementing rapid diagnostic test and microscopy for parasitological diagnosis of malaria in Uganda
(Malaria Journal, 2011)
Background: In Uganda, parasite-based diagnosis is recommended for every patient suspected to have malaria before prescribing anti-malarials. However, the majority of patients are still treated presumptively especially in ...
