  • Laboratorijska diagnostika malarije = Laboratory diagnosis of malaria
    Kobe, Jasna Modrica
    As we are preparing to enter the 21st century, the laboratory techniques of the 19th century remain in routine use and countinue to be the gold standard: microscopic examination of the Giemsa stained ... thick blood film for diagnosing malaria ( and other blood parasites) and the Pappenheim stained thin blood film plasmodium parasites in the peripheral blood and the determination of their quantity and species. The detection of a small percentage of parasite cells requires a high quality microscope and an experiencedmicroscopist. A newtechnology is available nowadays for low level infections: the QuantitativeBuffy Coat method (QBC), wigh is based on the hematocrit principle, the fluorochrome acridine orange dye for the DNA and RNA of the Plasmodium and fluorescent mictoscopy. A rapid dipstick antigen capture assay is used for travellers; the strip is impregnated with specific monoclonal antibodies that bind to the histidine rich protein 2 (HRP-2) of Plasmodium falciparum or plasmodium specific glycolytic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH) in the plasma.
