Early diagnosis and treatment of malaria are necessary components in the control of malaria. The gold-standard light microscopy test has high sensitivity but is a relatively time-consuming procedure especially during epidemics and in areas of high concentration. A new Cyscope fluorescence microscopy test has been developed and gives results in less than 10 minutes. The test has a specificity of 98.92% and a sensitivity of 95.48%. Given a base rate of 12.5% and a theoretical population of 10,000, construct the contingency table for thit-scenario.

Test Positive Test Negative Total
I Have Malaria
Do not have Malaria
