Breath test for malaria diagnosis in Ethiopia
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new, non-invasive way to diagnose malaria by collecting and analyzing your breath. If you have a fever and are at least 12 years old, you may be able to help researchers see if this breath test works well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a fever of 37.5°C or higher right now
- You do not have severe illness or a serious infection affecting your brain or nervous system
- You do not have asthma, COPD, severe respiratory illness, or any condition that makes it hard to give a breath sample

This study tests a new rapid diagnostic tool that can quickly identify tropical fever-causing infections like malaria, dengue, Zika, chikungunya, or leptospirosis from a blood sample. The goal is to help doctors diagnose these infections faster so patients can get treatment sooner.
This study looks at how malaria spreads in Mozambique by testing children and pregnant women with fever. If you or your child may have malaria, participating could help researchers understand and fight the disease better.
This study gives healthy volunteers a controlled infection with a type of malaria (vivax) to see how the infection behaves and how well curative anti-malaria medicine works. It may help researchers better design and test future malaria vaccines and treatments.
This study looks at how children’s and pregnant women’s bodies fight infections like malaria. It compares kids with fever to healthy kids, and follows mothers and their newborns to learn about infections around birth.
This study gives healthy adults who have never had malaria a controlled infection with the parasite that causes malaria, to see if it is safe and if mosquitoes can pick up the parasite from them. It may help develop new ways to prevent malaria.
This trial uses a genetically modified malaria parasite given by mosquito bite to safely test a new vaccine approach in healthy volunteers. If you qualify, you'll help researchers understand how the body defends against malaria.
