Overview

About Malaria (ICT/MP)

Malaria testing becomes urgent the moment fever, chills and sweating show up, especially during monsoon season when mosquito-borne illness spikes across Gujranwala and nearby areas. This test combines a rapid ICT card with a microscopic peripheral film (MP) to catch the malaria parasite reliably.

The ICT gives a fast preliminary answer, often within the hour, while the peripheral film lets our lab technicians confirm the parasite type under the microscope, which matters because different malaria species need different treatment.

Because malaria can progress quickly, we treat this as a priority test and get results back to you the same day, so treatment is not delayed.

What's Included

Rapid ICT Test

A quick card test that gives an initial result within minutes.
Useful for a fast first read while you wait.

Malarial Parasite (Blood Film)

A blood sample examined under the microscope.
Confirms the rapid test result and can identify the specific malaria species.

How to Prepare

  • No fasting required.
  • If possible, come in during or shortly after a fever spike, that’s when the parasite is easiest to detect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the ICT test for malaria?

The ICT test is a fast, reliable screening tool, and when paired with a peripheral film examination as we do at City Care Lab, accuracy improves further since the film confirms the parasite under a microscope.
No fasting is required. The test can be done as soon as symptoms appear.
High fever with chills, sweating, headache and body aches are the classic symptoms, often coming in cycles.
Different malaria parasite species respond to different medications, so identifying the exact type through the peripheral film helps your doctor prescribe the right treatment.
We prioritise malaria testing and aim for same day results, given how quickly the illness can progress.
Yes, our phlebotomist can visit your home anywhere in Gujranwala, Sialkot or Daska, which is often easier when fever makes travel difficult.
