8 March 2024 (Friday) - NEQAS Parasitology

2401 PA1
 
In my notes I actually wrote “odd things… probably parasites”. They were parasites of P malariae.
 
But this was a thick film… I saw what could have been parasites, but I don’t pretend to be an expert at thick films.
In reality I would have asked for a second opinion. It wouldn’t have been missed, and that is the main thing.
 
 
2401 PA2
 
I saw parasites of P. falciparum with a parasitaemia of 4%. The consensus opinion was that the parasitemia was 1.5%. I’m over-estimating, but better over than under.
 
I’ll claim that as a success.
