|
Definition
Infected RBC normal size, may see 50% or more of RBC infected. Trophozoites- may only see ring form and gametocyte stages! RBC membranes becomes sticky in the infected cells and cells tend to adhere to endothial lining of capillaries of internal organs. Ring form tends to be on the periphery of RBC! Meozoites-mature schizont has 8-24 merozoites. Gametocytes- characteristic and diagnostic cresent or sauage shaped |
