Malaria by Blood smear

. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, which are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes.
. The primary species responsible for human malaria are P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, and P. ovale, with P. falciparum being the most dangerous due to its potential to cause severe complications, including cerebral malaria and organ failure.
. Malaria should always be considered in patients who have a history of exposure (mostly: past travel or residence in disease-endemic areas such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Africa).
. Initially, the symptoms resemble those of the flu. Common symptoms of malaria include spikes of fever, chills, sweating, headache, fatigue, muscle aches, and nausea, which can progress rapidly in severe cases.
. The test involves examining stained peripheral blood smears under a microscope to directly visualize and quantify the parasites. It helps in confirming the presence of malaria, and determining the species of the parasite.
. Early and accurate detection of malaria is crucial for timely treatment, preventing complications, and controlling the spread of the disease.
