Malaria Self Test Module
Recent safari in Kenya.
Has been on "intermittent" malaria prophylaxis.
Click on one of the following:
Plasmodium falciparum?
Correct! Very well done.
A very difficult case with virtually no parasites in the thin film, hence a diagnosis is necessary from the thick film. The scanty ring forms in this thick film are somewhat distorted due to the "occasional" prophylaxis.
A "dipstick" screening test would be especially
useful in cases such as this.

Have another look paying particular attention to the quite small ring form in the top right of this field.
