Description
Malaria is a severe and highly contagious vector-borne disease caused by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. A malaria blood test, such as a malarial parasite test, is performed to determine the level of infectious malarial parasites in the blood smear under a microscope.
The malarial parasite test, also known as the MP test for malaria or a peripheral blood smear test, is a malarial test prescribed by healthcare professionals to detect the presence of the malaria parasite in infected individuals. A malaria blood smear is a highly useful test in diagnosing and monitoring malaria infections. Malaria is a potentially life-threatening parasitic infection that infects red blood cells and sickens the infected individual. If left undiagnosed or untreated, the parasite can lead to several health issues, such as organ failure, internal haemorrhage, or bleeding. Several symptoms of malaria include fever, chills, headache, nausea and muscle pain, which are very similar to having the flu. Hence, a peripheral smear for malarial parasites is ordered by doctors to detect the presence of parasites in the blood sample. Under the malarial test, a lab technician smears the blood sample on a glass slab to be viewed under a microscope. The test is ordered at an early stage of malaria to cure the disease before it becomes a serious illness.

An individual need to book a lab test for malaria if the doctor suspects a malaria infection based on the symptoms the infected is experiencing. If a person has travelled to regions where malaria is a common disease, then booking a malarial smear test is advised to mitigate the potential risks of malaria. The symptoms of malaria usually develop within 14 days of a parasite infection. In rare cases, the symptoms may appear in the infected as early as seven days or as long as a year. Hence, a malaria parasite test result becomes standard for healthcare experts to detect malaria and monitor the ongoing treatment for malaria as well.
Some early-stage symptoms of a malarial infection include high fever followed by chills, severe body aches, vomiting or nausea, extreme weakness or fatigue and body ache. The early-stage symptoms of malaria are very similar to having the flu. Some major symptoms faced during the later stages of malarial infection include constant shivering, high fever, jaundice, seizures, confusion and concentration issues, convulsions and bloody stools. If a healthcare professional suspects a possible malarial infection, one can search for a ‘malaria test near me’ and book the test. A blood smear is one of the reliable tests prescribed for diagnosing and monitoring malaria.

Malaria Test is a malaria diagnostic tool that allows users to determine whether they have the disease or not.
The best way to determine when you should take a malaria test depends on your specific situation or if you are having malaria symptoms and other health status.
Malaria Test is a simple, quick and easy to use malaria test that can be used to screen for the presence of malaria parasites in human blood or other body fluids. The test is based on the detection of the antimalarial agent malarone in samples.
A person's normal range of malaria test results is typically between 0 and 3 parasites per mille. However, this can vary depending on various factors, including the person's age and health.
The most accurate way to diagnose malaria is by using an antibody panel which detects several different antigens. However, this method is not available in many places. The other two methods, microscopy and radiography, are primarily used to rule out other diseases but can also be used to detect malaria.
Fasting is not required for the Malaria Test. However, it may help improve your results.
Yes, home sample collection is available for Malaria test.
