Laboratory diagnostic methods of malaria infection
author
Abstract:
Malaria is one of the most important tropical infectious diseases. The incidence of malaria worldwide is estimated to be 300–500 million clinical cases each year with a mortality of between one and three million people worldwide annually. The accurate and timely diagnosis of malaria infection is essential if severe complications and mortality are to be reduced by early specific antimalarial treatment. This review details the methods for the laboratory diagnosis of malaria infection.

Laboratory diagnosis methods of malaria infection
Background and Aim: To manage and control malaria - one of the most important infectious diseases in tropical and subtropical regions – a quick and accurate malaria diagnosis method is necessary as a high priority. For this purpose, several methods have been developed for the diagnosis of malaria, and currently, the examining the peripheral blood slide with an optical microscope as a gold stand...

The diagnosis of HIV-1 infection in infants and children continues to present challenges. Currently available virologic assays are sensitive and specific and allow early detection of perinatally acquired HIV infection. Identification soon after birth allows for the rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy and preservation of the infant's immune system. Serologic diagnostic methods, including ...

OBJECTIVES To detect malarial parasites using the peripheral blood smear (PBS) and to compare the PBS with the immunochromatographic antigen test (i.e. OptiMAL and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)). METHODS Six ml of blood was collected from each of 170 patients clinically suspected of having malaria. These samples were used to perform PBS examination, the OptiMAL test and PCR by standard prot...
