Quantitative Buffy Coat analysis and blood smears were performed on a total of 47 blood samples. The technique showed 100% correlation with the blood smears in 9 samples containing babesia and 10 samples containing malaria, with some differential features distinguishing the two infections. Quantitative Buffy Coat analysis provides a simple and rapid method for the detection of parasitemia in cases of babesiosis.
对总共47份血样进行了定量血沉棕黄层分析和血涂片检查。该技术在9份含有巴贝斯虫的样本和10份含有疟原虫的样本中与血涂片显示出100%的相关性,且有一些鉴别特征可区分这两种感染。定量血沉棕黄层分析为巴贝斯虫病病例中寄生虫血症的检测提供了一种简单快速的方法。
