Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: In malaria patients, a prompt and accurate diagnosis is the key to effective disease management. In order to identify a quick and reliable technique for accurate diagnosis of malaria this study has been conducted. Methods: A total of 3603 patients who were suspected with malaria were screened for malarial parasites by various methods like Thick and thin peripheral blood film(PBS), Quatitative buffy coat (QBC)and Rapid diagnostic card test. Results: Out of 3603 clinically suspected patients, Two hundred ninety four patients were infected with P. vivax and 297 were infected with P. falciparum by QBC method. However, QBC was able to identify 294 P. vivax and 288 P. falciparum followed by 291 P. vivax, 288 P. falciparum and 245 P.vivax and 266 P. falciparum by Advatange mal card and peripheral blood smear respectively. Conclusion: QBC remains the high sensitive test for the diagnosis of Malaria due to high volume of blood concentration of parasites by centrifugation and fluorescent staining of parasites
