Plasmodium falciparum Trophozoites, Thin Film

poorly stained thin film Plasmodium falciparum trophozoites

It takes considerable experience to decide whether this image is positive for malaria. It is positive, but this is a weak stain and may be too difficult for diagnosis. When possible, more of the film should be searched, or a better preparation should be made. In this case, unfortunately, this is all you have.

 

The ability to make a good diagnosis comes with a good slide and much experience.
