Discordant diagnosis of malaria in a family of child refugees from Sierra Leone.

Stephanie K Yanow1, Daniel Gregson2, Rupesh Chawla3.   

Abstract

The clinical presentation and diagnosis of malaria involving a family with seven children who arrived in Canada as refugees is reported. Discrepancies in front-line testing using microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests compared with confirmatory testing using real-time polymerase chain reaction in this cluster of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients were identified.
