Diagnosis and Treatment of Malaria in India

Microscopy of stained thick and thin blood smears remains the gold standard for confirmation of diagnosis of malaria. The advantages of microscopy are: • The sensitivity is high. It is possible to detect malarial parasites at low densities. It also helps to quantify the parasite load. • It is possible to distinguish the various species of ...

Making thick and thin blood smears . 1. Whenever possible, use separate slides for thick and thin smears. 2. Thin film (a): Bring a clean spreader slide, held at a 45° angle, toward the drop of blood on the specimen slide. 3. Thin film (b): Wait until the blood spreads along the entire width of the spreader slide. 4.

Blood smears that are too thin or too thick present a prob-lem. Extremely thin smears (caused by too small a drop, too slow spreading or too low a spreader angle), may result in red blood cells (RBC) that appear as spherocytes and in- creased white blood cells (WBC), such as monocytes and neutrophils, in the tails.

2. As soon as the drop of blood is placed on the glass slide, the smear should be made without delay. Any delay results in an abnormal distribution of the white blood cells, with many of the large white cells accumulating at the thin edge of the smear.Rouleaux of the red blood cells and platelet clumping may also occur.
