Parasite density | qPCR (+) | Microscopy (+) | Microscopy sensitivity (95% CI) | RDT(+) | RDT sensitivity (95% CI) | uRDT (+) | uRDT Sensitivity (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 < 100 | 50 | 10 | 20% (10.0–33.7) | 31 | 62% (47.1–75.3) | 34 | 68% (53.3–80.4) |
100–200 | 19 | 9 | 47.3% (24.4–71.1) | 17 | 89.4% (66.8–98.7) | 19 | 100% (82.3–100) |
 > 200 | 89 | 69 | 77.5% (67.4–85.7) | 81 | 91% (83.0–96.0) | 86 | 96.6% (90.0–99.3) |
