Abstract: 　AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of immunochromatographic test(ICT) in detecting Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax in malaria endemic areas. METHODS: ICT was used to detect P.falciparum and P.vivax among patients with fever in the outpatient clinics by comparason with thick blood smear method.RESULTS: The sensitivity of ICT to detect P.falciparum and P.vivax was 96.7% and 90.4%,respectively. The specificity of ICT was 98.6%,and the coincidence rate was 94.7%. There is no cross reaction between P.falciparum and P.vivax . CONCLUSION: ICT could detect P.falciparum and P.vivax simutaneously,being more rapid and simple than blood smear method.
