Abstract:Objective To analyze the laboratory diagnosis of cases of imported Plasmodium malariae infection so as to reduce its misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Methods The cases of imported Plasmodium malariae infection were confirmed by morphological test of thick and thin blood smears and nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) malaria detection assay. Results The results of morphological test and nested PCR malaria detection assay showed that 7 cases of Plasmodium malariae infection which were initially diagnosed with non-Plasmodium infection, Plasmodium infection and Plasmodium falciparum infection were detected, including 1 case of mixed Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium vivax infections. Conclusions The training about morphological diagnosis of Plasmodium species and the related molecular biology techniques should be continuously strengthened and promoted in malaria eliminated areas so as to meet the correct diagnosis and species identification of imported malaria cases at the present stage, especially in rare and seldom species identification.
