A Study to Compare Antigen-based Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay, Rapid Method, and Microscopy for Detection of Malaria in Blood Donors to prevent Transfusion-transmitted Malaria

A Study to Compare Antigen-based Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay, Rapid Method, and Microscopy for Detection of Malaria in Blood Donors to prevent Transfusion-transmitted Malaria

Introduction: In malaria-endemic countries, blood donors with low parasitemia may be missed at the time of screening of blood units leading to the consequences like hemolysis, morbidity, and even mortality in nonimmune transfusion recipient. This study aimed to compare peripheral blood smear (micros...
