Comparative Evaluation of Various Methods for Detection of Malaria with Special Reference to Modified Buffy Coat Preparation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The present study was aimed to do comparative evaluation of various methods for detection of Malaria with special reference to Modified buffy coat preparation and thus to establish a more sensitive method of detection. Blood samples collected from 200 suspected malaria patients were subjected to all the four tests. The results obtained from Modified buffy coat preparation were compared with the conventional PBF, QBC and antigen detection test. Sensitivity of PBF, antigen detection test and modified buffy coat preparation method was 84.90%, 86.79%, 94.33% respectively and specificity was 100%, 95.74% and 97.87%, respectively. It was seen that by addition of centrifugation to the PBF, sensitivity improved from 84.90% to 94.33 %.
