Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does sequence variation confound the measurement of plasma PfHRP2 concentration in African children presenting with severe malaria?
Answer: These findings indicate that sequence polymorphism is not a significant cause of variation in PFHRP2 concentration in plasma samples from African children. This justifies the further development of plasma PFHRP2 concentration as a method for assessing African children who may have severe falciparum malaria. The data also add to the existing evidence base supporting the use of rapid diagnostic tests based on PFHRP2 detection.
Output (English): no
