Introduction: Taking into account the difficulty of performing malaria microscopic diagnosis in rural areas, rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) are a good alternative, but it is important to verify their diagnostic performance.Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the RDTs used in five Colombian departments by comparing them with the microscopic diagnosis and using PCR as the reference standard.Materials and methods: Thick blood film and RDTs were used to diagnose symptomatic individuals; additionally, the filter paper was impregnated with blood for the molecular test.Results: We included 314 samples whose percentage of positivity for malaria was 49% by PCR, 48% by microscopy and 46% by RDT; parasitemia ranged between 180 and 23,80...
