Microscopic detection of hemozoin in peripheral leukocytes fails to indicate plasmodial placental infection in pregnant women

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2017
Introduction: Malaria in pregnancy very often includes gestational (parasites in maternal peripheral blood) and placental (parasites in placental blood) infection, but the later condition can only be detected after delivery.
