P.falciparum early trophozoites
Summary
- At this stage we look for typical (and often frequent) delicate rings within red cells that have normal (or slightly crenated) appearance. Forms often seen in this species include accolé forms, double chromatin dot forms, and multiple parasites within infected red cells.
