Early detection through this test ensures you receive the right treatment quickly, preventing the infection from becoming severe and developing a health risk.

This comprehensive test evaluates several important aspects of malaria infection in your blood:
- Parasite presence: Confirms whether malaria parasites are present in your bloodstream.
