Understanding Malarial Parasite Identification in Dombivli

What is Malarial Parasite Identification in Dombivli?

The Malarial Parasite Identification test detects malarial parasites in the blood and identifies the species involved along with the extent of the infection. It is available at an affordable price in Dombivli with Tata 1mg labs. Malaria is a serious, sometimes fatal, disease caused by a parasite and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes.

The Malarial Parasite Identification test is necessary for people showing symptoms of malaria, such as fever, chills, headaches, and body aches, or for those who have traveled to or live in regions where malaria is prevalent. This test helps to diagnose a malaria infection early, enabling healthcare providers to differentiate a malarial fever from other non-malarial fevers, thereby facilitating appropriate treatment. A positive test result indicates the presence of a malarial parasite, while a negative result indicates the absence of a malarial parasite at the time of testing.

What does Malarial Parasite Identification measure?

The Malarial Parasite Identification test is the standard test to diagnose malaria via microscopic examination of the blood sample of anyone with suspected malaria. A blood smear is prepared and then stained with Giemsa stain. This staining gives the malaria parasite a distinctive appearance under a microscope. The diagnosis is made by spotting the malaria parasite, its antigens, or its products in the smear. Thick smears help detect the presence of parasites while thin smears help detect the species of parasite.
