[Rapid diagnosis of malaria. The microwave furnace].
Thick blood is a well known method for malaria diagnosis, very faithful and sensitive, but it could not be used in emergency because it had to dry for many hours. Micro-wave over allows a quick drying (two minutes). Do it can now be used in emergency.
