Added value of loop-mediated isothermal amplification technology (LAMP) in real life for the diagnosis of malaria in travellers

Elisa Burdino et al. J Travel Med. .

Abstract

Malaria diagnosis in non-endemic countries is questioned by lack of experience and low levels of parasite densities. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is aimed at simplifying these challenges. In a prospective evaluation over a 2-year period, LAMP significantly simplified malaria identification in 478 febrile travellers and can be considered the primary diagnostic test in this setting.
