Accurate diagnosis is the key to effective treatment and control of malaria. We screened 180 microscopically diagnosed Indian malaria-positive blood samples for pure and mixed infections by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. An unusually high proportion of mixed infections was detected, signifying the sensitivity of PCR assay over traditional microscopic diagnosis.
准确的诊断是疟疾有效治疗和控制的关键。我们对 180 份经显微镜诊断为印度疟原虫阳性的血液样本进行了纯感染和混合感染的筛选,包括恶性疟原虫和间日疟原虫。结果发现混合感染的比例非常高,这表明 PCR 检测比传统的显微镜诊断更灵敏。
