PCR as a confirmatory technique for laboratory diagnosis of malaria

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Stephanie P JohnstonAlexandre J da Silva

Abstract

We compared a nested PCR assay and microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained blood films for detection and identification of Plasmodium spp. in blood specimens. PCR was more sensitive than microscopy and capable of identifying malaria parasites at the species level when microscopy was equivocal.
