Detection of Plasmodium gametocytes in a peripheral blood smear one day after schizonts were found. Laboratory diagnosis of malaria.
Malaria. Continuation of the story. Following up on the post (https://vk.ru/wall-179759900_42813) One day later, a new blood smear from the same patient was re-examined microscopically. Ring-form schizonts were practically undetectable in the smears, but gametocytes were found. The patient was referred to a specialized institution for confirmation of the malaria diagnosis.
