A lab report from August 12, 2011 details a test for a 29-year-old male patient named Mr. Ketan Chavan who was referred by Dr. Patil. A thick blood smear found schizonts of P. vivax, indicating the presence of vivax malaria parasites. The chances of detection are highest during a fever, and multiple smears over 2-3 days may be needed in some cases to confirm the presence of malaria parasites even if they are not seen in the initial peripheral smear.

Chances of detection are highest at the time of fever. Inability to see parasite in peripheral smear does not rule out Malaria. Smears on 2 - 3 times may be required in few cases. ---------- End of Report. ----------
