Abstract
In this study, we showed that microscopic examination of blood smears does not reliably distinguish Plasmodium species in the case of mixed infections. Therefore, it seems that multiplex/nested PCR is a good candidate for examining the presence of malaria parasites in clinically suspected but microscopically negative cases.
