Description

Malaria Antigen (PF/PV) is a rapid diagnostic blood test used to detect specific antigens of Plasmodium falciparum (PF) and Plasmodium vivax (PV), the two most common causes of malaria. This test enables quick identification and differentiation of malaria species, supporting prompt treatment decisions, especially in patients presenting with acute fever, chills, headache, and anemia. It is widely used in endemic areas and emergency settings for rapid screening.
