Table 3 Detection results of malaria infections by the Malaria Pf/Pan test in comparison with microscopy (N=606)

Method	Species	Species identified by microscopy				Total
Method	Species	P. falciparum	P. vivax	P. falciparum + P. vivax	Negative	Total
Pf/Pan Test	P. falciparum	18	3	2	10	33
	Pan (non-falciparum)	1	51	1	3	56
	P. falciparum + Pan	27	13	15	15	70*
	Negative	5	6	1	435	447
	Total	51	73	19	463	606

* For the Pf/Pan device, these cases had both test lines visible, suggesting they were either P. falciparum single infections or P. falciparum/non-falciparum mixed infections.
