Abstract:
The invention described herein relates to a method of detecting malaria comprising the steps of: (i) delivering an evanescent IR beam through said ATR substrate in contact with a patient blood sample; (ii) detecting IR radiation transmitted from the ATR substrate to produce a signal characteristic for one or more lipids in the sample, and (iii) processing said signal and a set of reference library spectra of lipids associated with malaria parasites in order to detect matches and quantify said one or more lipids in the sample. In contrast to the prior art, the present invention relies on detecting lipids instead of hemozoin.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more signals in the spectrum comprise at least one signal of at 2857, 2942, 2985 or 3040 cm\u22121 to quantify a parasitemia level between 0-1%.
