Dear editor Malarial infections pass through multiple stages, beginning in the hepatic parenchymal cells where invading sporozoites ma- ture into schizonts. On maturation, these schizonts rupture and release merozoites into the bloodstream, which, in turn, target erythrocytes, leading to the clinical manifestations of the disease [1]. Exflagellation is characterized by thin, flagella-shaped mi- crogametes emerging from male malaria gametocytes; occurs in the midgut of the Anopheles mosquito; and has rarely been observed in peripheral blood specimens.
