Laboratory Diagnosis of Malaria and Morphology of Malaria Parasites
Explore common methods like light microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests for diagnosing malaria, along with the morphology and identification of different malaria parasite species through microscopy. Learn about preparing blood films, detecting malaria antigens, and recognizing trophozoite, schizont, and gametocyte stages. An insightful look into the laboratory diagnosis and morphological characteristics of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum. Discover the diverse stages and appearances of malaria parasites to enhance your understanding of this disease.

PRACTICAL PRACTICAL ON BLOOD ON BLOOD PARASITES PARASITES
Common methods for parasitological diagnosis of malaria The two methods common in use : 1: Light microscopy 2: Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs).
Laboratory diagnosis of malaria Laboratory diagnosis of malaria Rapid diagnostic tests detect Rapid diagnostic tests detect malaria antigens malaria antigens
Laboratory diagnosis of malaria Light microscopy:1: Preparing blood film
Laboratory diagnosis of malaria Plasmodium falciparum (trophozoite stage in thick smear) Plasmodium falciparum (trophozoite stage in thin smear) CCMOV BD
6 Morphology of Malaria The Malaria Parasite Trophozoites Three developmental stages seen in blood films: CCMOVBD CCMOVBD 1. Trophozoite Schizont Gametocyte 2. Schizont 3. Gametocyte CCMOVBD CCMOVBD
7 Morphology of Malaria Plasmodium vivax CCMOVBD Species of malaria is identified by its characteristic microscopic appearance: Plasmodium ovale Plasmodium malariae Malaria Tutorials, Wellcome Trust CCMOVBD
8 Morphology of Malaria Plasmodium falciparum (trophozoite stage in thin smear) CCMOVBD
9 Morphology of Malaria Plasmodium falciparum (trophozoite stage in thick smear) CCMOVBD
10 Morphology of Malaria Plasmodium falciparum (characteristic banana-shaped or crescent shaped gametocyte stage in thin smear) CCMOVBD
A 25 year-old male from India, who came 3 months ago was admitted in KKUH with a history of severe anaemia and intermittent high grade fever for the last two months not responding to antibiotics. WHAT IS THE DIAGNOSIS? Diagnosis: malaria or Plasmodium vivax
A businessman who makes frequent trips to Thailand , presents with intermittent fever . WHAT IS THE DIAGNOSIS? Diagnosis: malaria or Plasmodium vivax
A student in KSU who returned three weeks from vacation in Africa , he developed intermittent fever last week and lost consciousness a short time ago. WHAT IS THE DIAGNOSIS? Diagnosis: malaria or Plasmodium falciparum
The patient was then treated with schizontocidal antimalarial drugs, a follow-up blood film is shown . ARE THERE ANY PARASITES? WHAT STAGE ? Plasmodium flaciparum , gametocyte stage
A 7 year old child presented with anemia , hepatosplenomegaly and fever .Not responding to antimalarials and antibiotics . Bone marrow smear is shown ARE THERE ANY PARASITES? WHAT STAGE ? Leishmania , amastigote stage
Bone marrow aspiration Bone marrow amastigotes
