Point-of-care testing within the hospital (ward laboratories, intensive care units, emergency rooms, and bedside) is usually not considered appropriate for diagnostic parasitology testing; one exception might be the emergency room, where patients with malaria may first present with fever and general malaise. Alternative sites (outpatient clinics, shopping malls, senior citizen groups and others) are generally not considered appropriate settings for diagnostic parasitology testing, although relevance might be dictated by geographic location and the development of newer, less subjective methods.
