I got hold of the results of the most recent NEQAS microscopy survey recently:
2006 BF1
I said “P falciparum (bananas), target cells, macrocytosis and microcytosis, low platelets – malaria in a patient with a haemoglobinopathy”
The most reported features were :
Target cells
P.falciparum
Thrombocytopenia
Hypochromia
microcytosis
The case was P.falciparum in a patient with a haemoglobinopathy.
The film was also used in manual diff survey 2003 DF
