Also Known As:

Microfilaria

The Peripheral Smear for Microfilaria test is a microscopic examination of the blood to detect microfilariae, the larval forms of filarial worms. Filariasis is an infectious disease that spreads through mosquito bite which releases parasitic filaria worms into our blood circulation. Symptoms include recurrent fever (especially at night), swelling of limbs, scrotum (elephantiasis, hydrocele). This disease can lead to thickened hard skin with swollen & enlarged body parts called Elephantiasis. This test detects the filaria worms in your body.
