Test Information
Overview

Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted via the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. The parasites multiply in the liver, and then infect red blood cells. 

People who get malaria are typically very sick with high fevers, shaking chills, and flu-like illness. The most commonly used tests to check for the malarial parasite are:

  • Malarial Parasite by Smear Examination (Blood)
  • Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) such as
    • Malaria detection by Quantitative Blood Count (QBC), Blood
    • Malarial Antibody-IgG, Serum
    • Malarial Antigen (Vivax & Falciparum), Blood
Reference Range* Interpretation
Malaria Parasite examination on thick Smear, blood Absent
Malaria Antibody-IgG, Blood Negative
Malaria detection by IF Negative

*Reference ranges are provided as general guidance only. To interpret test results use the reference range in the laboratory report.
