为评估制定疟疾临床诊断方案的可能性，在斯里兰卡普塔拉姆的防治疟疾运动区域实验室进行了一项研究。在一组怀疑自己患有疟疾的502名患者中，97人的血检呈疟疾寄生虫阳性(71例间日疟原虫和26例恶性疟原虫)。血片阳性与血片阴性者在体征和症状上无明显差异。有人认为，如果没有实验室设施，卫生工作者不太可能改进患者自己对疟疾的诊断。对斯里兰卡来说，最好的选择是扩大可对疟疾寄生虫进行显微镜检查的设施数量。
To assess the possibility of developing a protocol for the clinical diagnosis of malaria, a study was done at the regional laboratory of the Anti-Malaria Campaign in Puttalam, Sri Lanka. Of a group of 502 patients, who suspected they were suffering from malaria, 97 had a positive blood film for malaria parasites (71 Plasmodium vivax and 26 P. falciparum). There were no important differences in signs and symptoms between those with positive and those with negative blood films. It is argued that it is unlikely that health workers can improve on the diagnosis of malaria made by the patients themselves, if laboratory facilities are not available. For Sri Lanka the best option is to expand the number of facilities where microscopic examination for malaria parasites can take place.
