“What tests are they suggesting since the excerpt says don’t use standard testing.”
See #20.
(Microscopy” maeans “look at it under a microscope.” “Dark Field,” means hit it with various lighting from the sides, including, perhaps, different wavelengths (colors), and perhaps, polarizations. Easily accomplished with $1000 equipment off amazon. Which I have.)
Ok
I am aware of what microscopy is
The dark field. What is it exposing. Peripheral smears are not indicating morphological changes to erythrocytes that are consistent with wild clotting. Those would turn up under standard microscopy.
So, again, being behind a paywall and I cannot see it, what are the exact dark field findings.
Thanks in advance for the answer.
