Malaria and dengue rapid tests for fever clinics and laboratories
First Diagnostic™ Corporation supplies malaria and dengue rapid tests under the ATFirst™ brand for professional in vitro diagnostic use. One test detects a Plasmodium falciparum antigen; the other detects IgG and IgM antibodies to dengue virus.
These lateral flow tests are used in health centers and fever clinics in endemic areas, hospital laboratories, travel clinics and field programs where microscopy or laboratory serology is not immediately at hand. Each result is an aid to diagnosis and must be interpreted by a clinician with other clinical and laboratory findings.

Using antigen and antibody results in febrile illness
- Malaria P.f. (antigen test): the test detects P. falciparum antigen only. It should not be the sole criterion for diagnosing malaria, and a negative result does not exclude malaria infection; if symptoms persist, test again by other methods.
- Dengue IgG/IgM (antibody test): early in the fever, IgM may be below the detectable level. Cross-reactivity across the flavivirus group is common, so positive results should be confirmed by other means. Antibody results cannot be used to judge the success of therapy.
