Placental Malaria Diagnosed In Poorly Processed Placental Tissue
Placental histopathology has been considered the gold standard for diagnosis of malaria during pregnancy; however, in under-resourced areas placental tissue is often improperly fixed and processed; the resulting formalin pigment is difficult to distinguish from malaria pigment. More...08 Jun 2016
Egg Size Differentiates Causative Agents of Human Diphyllobothriosis
