Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Dental Research - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Malaria is an infection caused by plasmodium transmitted bu infected female anopheles mosquitoes to humans especially in this part of the world. Malaria infection has remained endemic and challenging in control and eradication despite all the measures adopted by World Health Organisation.The environmental and genetic factors have contributed immensely to the uncontrolled spread of the infection. A lot of methods are adopted in the diagnosis of malaria infection for proper treatment of the patients. In all these methods Microscopy has remained a reference method for malaria diagnosis but there are other methods which are discussed in this paper. Those involved in the diagnosis should pay attention to the clinical features of the patients and the differential features of different species of plasmodium and their stages for effective treatment. Early diagnosis remains the best option in the treatment of malaria.
