Diagnosis of Malaria at autopsy: Preliminary observations with immunochromatographic rapid test

Traditionally, autopsy diagnosis of malaria is based on microscopic and histological examination but sometimes, the diagnosis remains difficult to establish by these conventional means. The present study describes the preliminary observation of usefulness of immunochromatographic rapid test to confirm postmortem diagnosis of malaria. The result of present study suggests that the test can be served as useful rapid means of diagnosing malaria at autopsy.
