Caption:
This blood smear photomicrograph depicted a white blood cell (WBC), known as a monocyte, that had ingested, or phagocytized malarial pigment, which can be seen as debris in the monocyte’s cytoplasm, surrounding its purple-stained nucleus. The patient from whom this blood specimen had been drawn, was infected with Plasmodium malariae parasites.
