Abstract :
A technique for diagnosis of malaria based on acridine orange staining of centrifuged blood samples in a microhematocrit tube (QBC) was compared with thick and thin peripheral blood smears in 300 samples. Malaria was diagnosed in 42(14%) patients by field’s staining technique and QBC method. An additional 6 (2%) cases were diagnosed by the QBC technique. Thus the prevalence rate of malaria during the study was 16%. Although QBC method was superior to the smear for malarial parasite detection, species identification was not possible in 3 (6.25 %) cases. Thus, QBC method has advantages in the terms of speed, sensitivity and ease. However, the age old Romanowsky’s stains still appear “Gold” standard for species identification.
