36
Q

for rapid diagnosis, must be hemoglobinized prior to staining

A

Thick smear

37
Q

used for identification of species, fix it by alcohol prior to staining

A

Thin smear

38
Q

ex. stain used for thin smear

A

o Giemsa stain
o Wright’s
o Hematoxylin

39
Q

fixation is no longer necessary since it contains alcohol

A

Wright’s

40
Q

must be dehemoglobinized using 3% formalin with 1% acetic acid

A

Hematoxylin

41
Q

For demonstration of malaria, blood should be collected during the peak of fever

42
Q

chilling, high temperature, profuse sweating

43
Q

 Rule: Smear for suspicion and another smear after out of fever
 Smears should be done before antimalarial treatment

A

Thin smear

44
Q

commonly used stain when we examine malarial specimen

45
Q

Buffered (H2O) + Fixed in Methanol

46
Q

No fixation needed: Alcohol

A

Leishman Stain

47
Q

hematocrit -> buffy coat

A

Quantitative buffy coat method

48
Q

dipstick test for simple or rapid examination for P. falciparum

A

Para-sight F. test

49
Q

IHA, IFAT, ELISA. Cannot determine current or previous infection, used only in epidemiological studies

A

Serological

50
Q

MOT of malaria

A

bite
blood transfusion and transplacental transmission

51
Q

Cryptozoite developed when they are on hepatic cell (liver); extracellular infection
 infect red blood cell; intracellular infection  trophozoite (ring form) earliest form after the invasion of rbc (ruby ring/signet stage); vegetative stage containing 1 nucleus and develop within RBC  Schizonts a trophozoite in which the nucleus are divided  merozoites found inside the RBC, many schizonts  Hypnozoites dormant stage that persist in liver cells (P. vivax, P. ovale)  gametocytes (micro and macro)  can suck blood

52
Q

developed when they are on hepatic cell (liver); extracellular infection -> infect red blood cell; intracellular infection

A

Cryptozoite

53
Q

(ring form) earliest form after the invasion of rbc (ruby ring/signet stage); vegetative stage containing 1 nucleus and develop within RBC

A

trophozoite

54
Q

a trophozoite in which the nucleus are divided -> merozoites found inside the RBC, many schizonts

55
Q

dormant stage that persist in liver cells (P. vivax, P. ovale)

A

Hypnozoites

56
Q

(micro and macro) -> can suck blood

A

gametocytes

57
Q

*happens inside the body of mosquito

58
Q

(cell resulting from the union of male and female gametocyte)

A

Gametes -> zygote

59
Q

(motile zygote)

60
Q

(encysted form of ookinetes)

61
Q

(oocyst in which the sporozoite will develop)

62
Q

infect the salivary gland of mosquito -> human

A

sporozoite

63
Q

happens inside the human body, known as the asexual cycle (no union of gametocyte inside the body of human)

A

Schizogony

64
Q

develop in mosquito, sexual cycle (union of micro and macro gametocyte)

65
Q

Due to tick bites (pulgas/Exodes)

A

Babesia microti

66
Q

four trophozoite attached with maltese cross appearance

67
Q

similar to malarial parasite and can be mistaken from ring forms of P. falciparum

A

Intraerythrocytic parasite transmitted by bites

68
Q

Can be transmitted also via transfusion

A

Babesia microti

69
Q

Disease associated in Babesia microti

A

Babesiosis, Piroplasmosis caused hemolytic anemia, jaundice, hepatomegaly (after 1-2 weeks of onset), fever

70
Q

lacks blood pigment in the ischizenic
stage
No large growing trophozoite and gametocyte. Many ring form (4-5)
Smaller rings than malaria trophozoite is pear shaped

A

B. microti in ring forms
