Nowadays, prompt diagnosis with rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) has been widely accepted as an effective diagnostic technique in malaria-endemic countries, primarily due to their easy operation, fast output, and straightforward interpretation. The global availability and use of RDTs have gradually grown over recent decades as field-applicable diagnostic tests for the reliable confirmation of malaria infection and proper case management. This study was conducted to evaluate diagnostic performance of 3 commercially available malaria RDT kits : BIOCREDIT&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;\/sup&gt; Malaria Ag Pf(pLDH), Malaria Ag &lt;i&gt;Pf&lt;\/i&gt;(pLDH\/pHRPII), and Malaria Ag &lt;i&gt;Pf\/Pv&lt;\/i&gt;(pLDH\/pLDH) (where pLDH and pHRPII stand for plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase and histidine-rich protein 2, respectively) for the specific detection of &lt;i&gt;Plasmodium falciparum&lt;\/i&gt;. A total of 1,129 blood samples including 95 blood samples, confirmed as vivax malaria infection by microscopic examinations and a nested-PCR method, were tested for falciparum malaria infection. The overall sensitivity and specificity of Malaria Ag &lt;i&gt;Pf&lt;\/i&gt;(pLDH\/pHRPII), Malaria Ag &lt;i&gt;Pf\/Pv&lt;\/i&gt;(pLDH\/pLDH), and &lt;i&gt;Pf&lt;\/i&gt;(pLDH) for &lt;i&gt;P. falciparum&lt;\/i&gt; were 99.0% and 100%, 95.8% and 100%, and 100% and 100%, respectively. It is proposed that the 3 RDT kits perform reliable level of diagnostic accuracy of detection for &lt;i&gt;P. falciparum&lt;\/i&gt; parasites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3347\/kjp.2020.58.2.147","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,30]],"date-time":"2020-04-30T12:52:14Z","timestamp":1588251134000},"page":"147-152","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3347\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Diagnostic
