Figure 2

Quantification of haemozoin deposition. Giemsa stained sections are shown at 200X. A) A selected field from the placenta of a woman with infection at 162days prior to delivery demonstrating a focus of haemozoin (inset, 600X), which was quantified as 2% of HPF. B) A representative field from the placenta of a woman with infection at 77days prior to delivery demonstrating heavy haemozoin deposition quantified as 35% of HPF. Arrowheads: haemozoin deposits. HPF: 600X high power fields.
