How can histological techniques aid in the treatment of Apicomplexa infections?
Accurate histological diagnosis is essential for guiding appropriate treatment. For example, the identification of Plasmodium species in blood smears allows for targeted antimalarial therapy. Similarly, detecting Toxoplasma gondii in tissue samples can prompt the use of specific antiparasitic drugs. Histological techniques also help monitor the response to treatment and detect any potential relapses.
