DensiPara

Calculation of parasite density for malaria diagnosis

DensiPara is an application to compute parasite density for malaria diagnosis, developped by Fongwama, the congolese plateforme for open source development.

Parasite density is an estimation of the number of parasites per microliter of blood in an infected individual. It's an important factor to determine the strength of the plasmodial infection. It helps physicians to diagnose malaria and to adapt the treatment. This application is a tool for laboratory technicians who diagnose malaria by microscopy (thick or thin blood smear).
