What was used to test for Malaria? |
When I contracted Mlaria in Belize last year, I was tested in a private clinic that used a vacuum like needle to draw blood. This wasn't a conventional hypodermic, it was like a tube that was pressed against my vein, and somehow it drew a blood sample. When I asked my nurse in the UK she didnt really know what I meant, and its a bit hazy now as it was almost a year ago. Does anyone have any idea as to what this device was called and how it works? In the US, most blood samples these days are drawn with a Vacutainer device (name brand, with the same from competitiors). The sample tubes are color-coded to delineate whether there's an anticoagulant and if there is which aniticoagulant is in them, and a panel of tests may take four or so tubes of various types for different tests. Malaria specifically doesn't actually need that, since it's often diagnosed on a smear on a microscope slide, but the associated tests are done that way for simplicity and ease of processing with the cell counters and chemistry analyzers in the laboratory. I suspect you may simply have not asked your nurse in a way that she understood, because the things are pretty well ubiquitous. |
