Peripheral Blood Smear Test (PS for MP)

PS for MP, also known as the peripheral blood smear test, is a blood test offered by healthcare nt sickcare Medical Laboratory that examines a blood sample under a microscope to detect the presence of the malaria parasite. This test is useful in diagnosing and monitoring malaria infections.

Malaria is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease caused by the malaria parasite, which is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. Symptoms of malaria may include fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, and fatigue. Prompt and accurate diagnosis of malaria is essential for effective treatment and management of the disease.

During a PS for MP test, a small sample of blood is taken from a vein in your arm and smeared onto a glass slide. The slide is then examined under a microscope to look for the malaria parasite. Results are typically available within a few hours.

If the test is positive for the malaria parasite, our medical team will recommend further testing or treatment, such as additional blood tests, imaging tests, or medications. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and to get regular PS for MP tests to monitor your condition and treatment progress.
