Plasmodium ovax! Lol.... but seriously I would say P. vivax over P. ovale due to the geography.
Unless you have put up a sneaky P. knowsli? Though they are more similar to P. malarie which doesn't have Schuffner's dots.
Thanks again Bobbi for your blog... definately keeping my diagnostics in trim shape (I hope, unless I got this one wrong!).
P.vivax b/c it's light, lacy, lavender and larger than a red cell. So lovely in a picture, not life.
PathAttending(formerly pathresident)woot!
I would say P. vivax as well.
I disagree. I would call this P. ovale due to the marked fimbriation, very dark and heavy stippling, enalarged, oval shape of the infected RBCs, and the compact nature of the malarial organisms themselves.
