Rapid Malaria Testing During the 2014 Ebola Epidemic: An Illustration of the Importance of Extending the Use of Point-of-Care Testing in Central Clinical Microbiology Laboratories During an Outbreak and a Brief Review of 1 Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Test
Abstract: Point-of-care tests are now well established in improving workflow and in some cases medical outcomes, mainly in terms of near-patient testing. However, such rapid diagnostics with simple operability also lend themselves well to maintaining a certain level of diagnostic capability in central laboratories during outbreaks. This paper describes the experience of 1 large US clinical microbiology laboratory with the BinaxNOW Malaria rapid test during the 2014 West African Ebola virus epidemic and briefly reviews its performance characteristics.

Three POCT Molecular Applications: A View Into Future Development
Abstract: Molecular diagnostic tests consist of 3 processes: extraction/purification of nucleic acid, amplification of specific target region, and finally detection of amplified products. For Point of Care Testing applications, these 3 steps need to be miniaturized using microfluidics to reduce reagent volumes and associated costs. Extraction may be eliminated if Polymerase Chain Reaction enhancers are added and if mutated/modified DNA polymerase are used, which are resistant to polymerase inhibitors. Numerous proof of concept devices have been reported for molecular diagnostic assays, and some are Food and Drug Administra...

Barriers to Implementation of Rapid and Point-of-Care Tests for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: Findings From a Systematic Review (1996–2014)
Background: Implementation of human immunodeficiency virus rapid and point-of-care tests (RDT/POCT) is understood to be impeded by many different factors that operate at 4 main levels—test devices, patients, providers, and health systems—yet a knowledge gap exists of how they act and interact to impede implementation. To fill this gap, and with a view to improving the quality of implementation, we conducted a systematic review. Methods: Five databases were searched, 16,672 citations were retrieved, and data were abstracted on 132 studies by 2 reviewers. Findings: Across 3 levels (ie, patients, providers, and health sys...
