Malaria remains a major cause of death and disability worldwide and
is endemic to much of Africa, South America, and southeast Asia.
Other malaria risk areas include the Middle east, some countries in
Central America and Polynesia, with most other continents virtually
free of the disease. The choice between RDTs and microscopy depends
on local circumstances, including the skills available, patient
case-load, epidemiology of malaria and the possible use of
microscopy for the diagnosis of other diseases. Where the case-load
of fever patients is high, microscopy is likely to be less
expensive than RDTs, but may be less operationally feasible.
Microscopy has further advantages in that it can be used for
speciation and quantification of parasites, and to assess response
to antimalarial treatment. Microscopy can also be used in the
identification of other causes of fever. However, a major drawback
of light microscopy is its requirement for well-trained, skilled
staff and, usually, an energy source to power the microscope.
