Description

The Malaria Test detects the Plasmodium parasites responsible for malaria infection by examining a blood sample for the presence of the parasite or its antigens. Malaria is typically transmitted through mosquito bites in regions where the disease is endemic, and symptoms can include fever, chills, headache, nausea, and muscle pain. Laboratory testing is the gold standard for accurate diagnosis and helps guide treatment decisions. Early and accurate detection is essential to effective care and prevention of severe disease progression.
