What does it measure?

The Smear for Malarial Parasite test: Is done to find the presence of the malarial parasite in the blood. It is also used to check the progress of treatment for malaria.

This is then stained with a Giemsa stain, which helps by giving the malaria parasite a distinctive appearance. Thin smears help in evaluating the presence of schizonts (a stage of the malarial parasite with the presence of many small nuclei), gametocytes (a stage of the malarial parasite where this can produce more gametes), and pigmentation due to the malarial parasite in the blood.The diagnosis is made by spotting the parasite of malaria or its antigens or its products in the smear.
