ABSTRACT

Background:

In 2006, the project of global fund for malaria prevention in Vietnam provided a large number of rapid diagnostic test Paracheck F for Vietnam for the purpose of rapid malaria diagnose. However, there is no study on evaluation the effect of rapid diagnostic test compared with microscopy method.

Objective:

To evaluate the diagnostic yield and cost of paracheck F test and microscopy in malaria diagnosis and treatment. Subject and

Method:

The study was carried out in 6 communes belongs to Quang Tri and Quang Binh provinces from September to November - 2006. The study was divided into 3 phases. Phase 1 diagnoses and treatments are based on clinical symptoms, phase 2 diagnoses and treatments are based on the results of paracheck and phase 3 diagnoses and treatments are based on the results of microscopy. All phases, both the common patients and malarial patients and the amount of anti-malarial drugs were treated, the amount of money was spent on transport and days work off of malarial patients and their relatives were calculated.

Result:

The investigation data on expenditure of malaria patients showed that the average direct cost of malaria patient in phase 1 is VND 116.100; phase 2 VND 119.400 and phase 3 VND 120.800 per 1 treatment course. There is no significant difference between direct costs in three phases (p > 0.05).

Conclusion:

The expense efficiency for finding out a case of malaria by paracheck and microscopy is equivalent and lower than the expense of diagnosis based on clinical symptoms.
