SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

Symptomatic Plasmodium vivax Infection in Rwanda

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, Volume 9, No. 3, Article ofac025, Year 2022

We report a Plasmodium vivax infection in a Rwandan child misdiagnosed with Plasmodium falciparum and administered artemether-lumefantrine. Antigen detection revealed an absence of P falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (HRP2) and presence of Plasmodium vivax lactate dehydrogenase. Nested and real-Time polymerase chain reactions verified that the sample only contained P vivax deoxyribonucleic acid.
