Wednesday, October 18, 2006. This is an interesting week, while in the microbiology lab, I manage to see a scabies and hookworm parasite under the microscope! The hookworm is a nematode parasite that lives in the small intestine of its host. The 2 species of hookworms commonly infect humans are Ancylostoma duodnale and Necator americanus. It is an intestinal parasite that usually cause diarrhoea or cramps. Scabies is an infestation of the top layer of the skin with a parasite known as Sarcoptes Scrabiei&...

Inoculate control organisms on the other part of the Mueller Hinton plate, e.g; Enterococcus spp (negative), Streptococcus bovis biotype 1 (positive). Posted by Guinea Piggy @ 11:15 AM.

SIP Experience - BBANK / HAEM / MMIC. Tuesday, September 12, 2006. Peripheral Blood Film (PBF). Although a full blood count (FBC) blood analyzer is capable of counting the cellular component of blood within seconds, PBF is still important. Capillary or venous blood must be collected in an ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) tube/vacutte to prevent the blood from clotting. A glass slide, glass spreader and capillary tube are needed to make a slide for PBF. The process is as follows:. Holding the spre...

Monday, August 28, 2006. There is 2 types of way to screen for the malaria parasite. The first one, which is the one we use in the lab im attached to, is the immunofluorescence method. It is also known as the QBC Malaria test. EDTA blood are used. 1 Fill the QBC capillary tube with patient's sample to a level between the 2 blue lines. Wipe off any excess on the outside of the tube with tissue. 5Insert a float on to the other end of the tube. 6Centrifuge for 5 minutes. 7Examine under fluorescent microscope.

Saturday, July 29, 2006. Being attached to a private lab, i realised time is a very important factor. I have learnt to adapt to doing things fast and accurately, unlike in school whereby we are able to take our time to ensure what we do are correct. So in a micro lab, what do you do when you receive samples for cultures? For a High Vaginal Swab, you need a blood agar which is a general plate which enhance the growth of most pathogens, a MacConkey plate and SABC, which is for testing of fungus growth.
