About the Malaria Profile
The malaria profile combines a rapid antigen test, a blood smear examination and a blood count. The rapid test gives a quick answer, while the smear confirms the parasite type and level, which guides treatment.
Symptoms and situations where this test helps
- Fever with chills and rigors, often with a regular pattern
- Sweating, headache and body ache
- Fever after travel to or living in malaria-prone areas
- Fever during the monsoon with mosquitoes around
Understanding your results
A positive antigen or smear confirms malaria. A low platelet count or anaemia may occur. Falciparum malaria can become severe quickly, so prompt treatment is essential. Negative results with persistent fever may need repeat testing.
What your doctor may advise next
Your doctor starts treatment based on the parasite type and may repeat the smear after treatment.
