Comparison of different methods for delayed post-mortem diagnosis of falciparum malaria
Malaria Journal, 10/29/09

Berens–Riha N et al. – In non–immune fatalities with unclear anamnesis, ICT can be recommended as a sensitive and specific tool for post–mortem malaria diagnosis, which is easier and faster than microscopy, and also applicable when microscopic examination is impossible due to autolysis. PCR is more expensive and time–consuming, but may be used as confirmatory test. In highly endemic areas where asymptomatic parasitaemia is common, confirmation of the diagnosis of malaria as the cause of death has to rely on histopathological findings.
