tlooto Summary

A new technique for estimating the absolute level of parasitemias in trypanosome infections is described, achieved by matching microscopic fields of a wet blood film against charts and, where fewer organisms are present, by counting the number oftrypanosomes in 5, 10, or 20 microscope fields.
