Malaria Antigen (MP Card) Report Format — Sample & Free Download
A Malaria Antigen test (MP Card) is a rapid immunochromatographic test that detects Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax antigens in the blood, giving a quick Positive/Negative screen for malaria without waiting for a microscopy-based peripheral smear.
This is a real report generated by Dr.Lably LIS — not a mockup.
When is it ordered?
- Investigating fever, chills, or suspected malaria exposure
- Rapid screening in areas with malaria transmission
- Emergency evaluation when quick results are needed
- Follow-up alongside or ahead of a peripheral smear for species confirmation
Test details
- Specimen type
- Whole blood (EDTA)
- Turnaround time
- Same day (1 hour)
Malaria Antigen Test report format breakdown
| Parameter | Unit | Normal range | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Malaria Antigen (P.f/P.v) | — | Negative | A Positive result indicates Plasmodium falciparum and/or Plasmodium vivax antigens were detected, supporting a malaria diagnosis; Negative doesn't fully rule out infection at very low parasite levels. |
| Parasite Species | — | Not detected | When the antigen test is positive, this indicates which Plasmodium species was identified, which can guide treatment choice. |
Frequently asked questions
What does a Malaria Antigen report format show?
The report lists the Malaria Antigen (P.f/P.v) result and the Parasite Species identified, each with its result and reference value, plus a Normal/status flag — as shown in the sample report above.
Do I need to fast before this test?
No fasting or special preparation is needed for a Malaria Antigen test.
How reliable is a rapid antigen test compared to a blood smear?
Rapid antigen tests are fast and convenient, but a negative result with ongoing symptoms may warrant a confirmatory peripheral blood smear, since antigen tests can miss very low parasite loads.
How fast can I get a Malaria Antigen result?
Dr.Lably-powered labs typically report Malaria Antigen results the same day, often within about 1 hour of sample collection.
