To overcome some of the limitations associated with microscopy, molecular assays that detect Plasmodium specific nucleic acid sequences are increasingly being used. Aim: The aim of the present study was to perform peripheral blood smear examination for malaria parasite by Leishman stain in patients presenting with acute undifferentiated fever and clinically suspected of malaria and to compare them with Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for diagnosis of malaria in clinically suspected patients considering microscopy as gold standard. Materials & Methods: After obtaining Institutional Ethics Committee permission, the present study was conducted and informed consent from all the participants of the study was taken. The sample size of the present study is 154. Results: Despite the fact that 64 samples were identified as P.Falciparum by microscopy, only 46 were confirmed by PCR; one was negative and the other was P.Vivax. However, three samples identified as P.Falciparum by PCR were not identified as P.Falciparum by microscopy. he results of PCR of negative samples detected by microscopy (n=90) as a diagnostic quality. Between the samples detected by microscopy18 (14.7%) were false negatives based on PCR. Conclusion: The present study also demonstrated a highly sensitive and specific molecular method for detection of low level parasitemia in a targeted high-risk population which may prove it cost effective too.
