Malarial Parasite (Microscopy) (HM0060)

Description

Malarial Parasite (Microscopy) is a confirmatory blood test used to detect and identify malaria parasites by microscopic examination of stained blood smears. This gold-standard method allows visualization of parasites, species identification (Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale), and assessment of parasitemia. It is essential for accurate diagnosis, disease severity assessment, and treatment monitoring, especially when rapid tests are inconclusive.
