Clinical case of malaria determining using modern laboratory diagnostics methods

Abstract

The article describes a clinical case of malaria in patient X., who was admitted to the medical institution of the Ministry of Defense. The patient was diagnosed with acute leukemia based on complaints and the clinical picture, followed by transferring the patient to the hematology centre of the Main Military Clinical Hospital n. a. N. N. Burdenko. In a short time, the patient was diagnosed with laboratory tests of the Department of Clinical and Hematological Research, and the diagnosis was reported to the specialists of the hematological centre. The patient was promptly provided with the necessary medical care. Due to the rare occurrence of this parasitic disease (the last case of malaria we diagnosed 10 years ago), we conducted a comprehensive study using various laboratory methods and modern hematological analyzers. All this made possible to recognize this disease, which is rare in the Moscow region, as well as in other regions of the Russian Federation, in a short period of time.
