About Malaria Parasite Detection by Smear
Malaria Parasite Detection by Smear is a microscopic analysis of the blood sample to detect malaria parasites in the blood flow. Both thin and thick blood smears are examined to check for the presence of the parasite, to identify the species of parasite present on the smear, and to assess the level of parasitic infection, if present. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy has a highly trained lab staff to carefully examine blood smears and deliver reliable diagnostic results.
What is a Malaria Parasite Detection by Smear Test?
A Malaria Parasite Detection by Smear Test is a straightforward blood examination to determine whether any person has been infected with the malaria parasite. A very small specimen of blood is placed on a glass slide, treated with dyes, and looked at in a microscope to find malaria parasites, including Pla. falciparum, Pla. vivax, Pla. malariae, and Pla. ovale. This test is still one of the most definitive ways to confirm the diagnosis and species of malaria.
