We compared microscopy with rapid antigen testing for detecting asymptomatic parasitemia. Nine of 103 (8.7%) had malaria by polymerase chain reaction (blood smear and rapid testing had a sensitivity of 22%). The empiric treatment program has decreased the rate of imported asymptomatic malaria. Blood film and rapid antigen testing are poor screening tests.<p> Female *Refugees Aged Sensitivity and Specificity 2025-02-14T21:34:35.132-06:00 Humans Adult Child, Preschool document-rn38536 Microscopy public *Mass Screening United States Adolescent 10.1097/01.inf.0000235747.28644.6f Immunoenzyme Techniques 25 Evaluation of malaria screening in newly arrived refugees to the United States by microscopy and rapid antigen capture enzyme assay Child Middle Aged Male
