The Plasmodium parasite causes an infectious disease that is malaria. When a mosquito carrying the Plasmodium parasite bites a person, it can cause malaria. The parasite targets the red blood cells, usually resulting in a high temperature, chills, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, and other symptoms that could progress into potentially fatal consequences. Early malaria diagnosis is quite essential.

Malaria Detection PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) is a test used to look for the presence of the malarial parasite in the blood.

Why is Malaria Detection PCR Done?

  • This test is typically performed to identify malaria and track its treatment.
  • To look for the presence of malarial parasites in the blood (PCR).
  • The parasite's genetic material is amplified by PCR for simple identification.

What is the procedure for Malaria Detection PCR?

A 4ml blood sample will be drawn from the vein of your arm for the procedure.

The Malaria is in general caused by Plasmodium parasite. The parasite is known to spread this infection to humans through bite of the infected mosquitoes. There are also 5 different types of the Plasmodium parasite that could cause malaria in the humans

The Polymerase chain reaction (abbreviated PCR) is a laboratory technique for rapidly producing (amplifying) millions to billions of copies of a specific segment of DNA, which can then be studied in greater detail.

PCR is most useful for confirming the species of malaria parasite after your diagnosis is established by either of the two, the smear microscopy or the RDT. The Serology also detects the antibodies which are against malaria parasites, using either the indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) or the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Use of the real-time multiplex PCR, this is a malaria rapid diagnostic test is that the DNA-based malaria assays which are quite in general, significantly more sensitive than your microscopy with the RDTs. Limit of the detection (LOD) for your PCR is typically 1–5 parasites/µL as compared to the 50–500 parasites/µL for the microscopy along with more than the100 parasites/µL for the RDT's

PCR tests that are even more reliable and also accurate due to testing your specific genetic material of virus, this would eliminate the interference from the other viruses.

The study in general shows that a buffy coat thick films that are also useful and this can detect any malarial parasites in the 27.8% of the patients whose conventional thick films also show negative parasitemia.

The accepted laboratory practice for diagnosis of the malaria test is the preparation along with the microscopic examination of your blood films that stained with the Giemsa, Wright's, or the Field's stain
