Advanced Malaria Detection for South African Health
When fever, chills, and fatigue strike after potential malaria exposure, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our advanced multiplex malaria test provides the definitive answers you need with exceptional accuracy and speed. Using cutting-edge RNA detection technology, we simultaneously identify both P. falciparum and P. vivax strains – the most common and dangerous malaria types affecting South Africans.
Understanding Your Malaria Test
This isn’t just another malaria test – it’s a sophisticated multiplex detection system that uses Real Time RT-PCR technology to identify malaria at the genetic level. Unlike traditional tests that might miss mixed infections, our method detects both P. falciparum (the most severe form) and P. vivax simultaneously. The RNA detection approach means we’re looking for active malaria infection, not just past exposure, giving you current, actionable information about your health status.
Who Should Take This Malaria Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms after visiting malaria-endemic areas or potential exposure, this test could be crucial for your health:
- High fever with chills and sweating
- Severe headaches and body aches
- Fatigue and weakness that doesn’t improve
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea
- Recent travel to malaria-risk areas in South Africa or neighbouring countries
- Unexplained fever that comes and goes
Early detection is particularly important as P. falciparum malaria can progress rapidly to severe complications if left untreated.
