Malaria Test in Mandi Bahauddin
Rapid ICT plus a microscopist-read thick and thin film to identify the parasite species.
Why this test is done
Fever with rigors and sweating, especially after the monsoon, should always be checked for malaria. The rapid ICT gives an answer within twenty minutes, and the slide tells us which species is involved — which changes the treatment. The best time to take the sample is during or just after a fever spike.
What is included
- Malarial parasite (MP) thick and thin film
- Rapid ICT for P. falciparum and P. vivax
