Confirmed malaria

A malaria case is confirmed by demonstration of asexual forms（trophozoite stage）of the parasite in the thick or thin peripheral blood film or by rapid diagnostic test（RDT）in the presence of fever.(https://www.daowen.com)

Proper history and physical examination are important in the management of malaria.Where there are no facilities for laboratory diagnosis it is reasonable to assume that the patient has clinical malaria when there is no other obvious cause of fever.
