Haematoxylin and eosin stained sections from various organs were available for examination. Parasitized red blood cells (PRBC) were abundant although parasite bodies were obscured by haemozoin (malaria) pigment. Chemical removal of pigment and oil immersion (×1,000) magnification revealed trophozoites that were discernibly bigger than those of P. falciparum. Immunohistochemistry stained sections from the brain were Plasmodium anti-aldolase positive ( Figure 3 ) and negative for P. falciparumspecific staining [17] .
