Professor Peter Chiodini present a podcast on the Guidelines for the laboratory diagnosis of malaria.
Professor Chiodini will discuss the guideline by highlighting points which will be relevant to your practice, giving pointers to where one may need to seek more information and how one may be able to access help in one would like to increase expertise in this critical area.
Professor Chiodini begins with explaining why do we need this guideline with the basics of the malaria problem and why we need to continue excellence in diagnosis.
Highlights include:
1) Malaria microscopy
2) Diagnosis of malaria by rapid diagnostic tests
3) Malaria molecular methods
The range of supplementary tests available for diagnosing malaria has continued to expand. Despite this, carefully examined thick and thin blood films remain an essential part of the process. This guideline updates the previous 2013 British Society for Haematology Guideline for the Laboratory Diagnosis of Malaria.
