Evaluation of the CellaVision DM96 Advanced RBC Application for screening and follow-up of malaria infection

In this study, the performance of the software for detection of malaria and calculation of parasitemia was evaluated and compared to microscopy (n=40). For CellaVision, both pre- and post-reclassification results were evaluated. Sensitivity was moderate, even post-reclassification (72%), due to low numbers of analyzed RBC and limited resolution of photographs.
