HDGFL2 and malaria: The poor specificity of the HRP2 antigen in this study contrasts with meta-analyses that pool findings from diverse populations (specificity ranges from 95-100%)[5,6,22], but is consistent with observations among febrile hospitalized children in Uganda (specificity of 72%[23] and 85%[24]) and nearby malaria-endemic countries (specificity of 65% in Tanzania[8]).
