Objective: This study aimed to investigate the variation of ESR in malarial infection and find out the variation of ESR in related to the degree of parasitemia. Material and Methods: A retrospective study with a duration of 6 months, on 385 randomly selected positive malaria cases. Their clinical record and lab records were analyzed for ESR level....
Abstract:
Background: Majority of the laboratory error occurs in the pre-analytical phase which affects the diagnostic accuracy. This study was done to examine the frequency of pre-analytical errors classify them and to identify quality indicators which will further help in minimizing the occurrence of errors.
Methods: A two-month study was done to...
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked disease responsible for moderate to severe hemolytic anaemia.
Despite being the most common erythrocyte enzyme disorder, it is often overlooked in the regular diagnostic parlance. A 40-year-old male

Phenomenon such as cold agglutination of red blood
cells and platelets are well
recognized and extensively studied. Nevertheless, a
ggregation of leukocytes in vitro is a rare
phenomenon and may result in pseudoleukopenia. The ex
act mechanism for this phenomenon
has not been elucidated. We report one such rare cas
e where a male patient with HIV p...

values by VesMATIC cube80™ against the modified Wes
tergren method.
MATERIALS AND
METHODS:

Background: The PT measures the activity of the so-called extrinsic and common pathways of coagulation. Automated coagulation analyzers have replaced the manual methods to meet the increasing test load in many laboratories. Two distinct automated or semi-automated methods exist based on optical and mechanical clot detection.
Aim: To compare the rel...
