PURPOSE: Microscopic diagnosis of Giemsa-stained thick and thin blood films remained the gold standard laboratory method for the diagnosis of malaria. In this context, we felt it was important to conduct this evaluation with 40 public medical biology laboratories (MBLs) in the Abidjan 1 health region that perform blood parasitology tests to improve their implementation process.
METHODS: This descriptive and analytical study took place in July 2020 and involved participating laboratories (PLs) from the public sector in Abidjan. A set of 3 blood smear slides of variable parasite densities (PDs) with assigned values (AVs) of parasite densities and assigned Plasmodium species was used. The criterion for establishing the parasite density compliance interval was assigned values of ± 25%, and the performance rates were compared to the 80% recommended by the WHO for the African region.
RESULTS: Nearly a quarter (11/40) of the participating laboratories had a compliance rate greater than 80%, including 10 with a performance of 100% for the ability to identify parasites. Regarding identifying plasmodial species, a concordance rate of 100% was obtained for slide 1 for Plasmodium falciparum, while this rate was 20% for slide 2 for Plasmodium ovale. For parasite densities < 200/µl, 87.5% of the participating laboratories (PLs) had a performance rate lower than 80%, while 95% of these PLs had a performance rate higher than 80% for parasitaemia > 2000/µl.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a need to strengthen adapted to low parasitaemia, to improve the biological confirmation of malaria in Côte d'Ivoire.
