Abstract

In accordance with the Management Measures for Health Criteria and GB/T 1.1-2020 Standardization Work Guidelines, Detection of Leishmania - Smear Microscopic Exanimation (WS/T 10018-2024) (referred to as the Criteria) was compiled. The Criteria consists of eight chapters, including “the range of application”, “normative references”, “terms and definitions”, “instruments and equipment”, “reagent or materials”, “detection steps”, “result determination”, and “waste disposal”, attached with four informative appendices (three detection methods, reagent preparation). The Criteria was issued by the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration (National Center for Disease Control Circular [2024] No. 1) and will be formally implemented at start on March 1, 2025. The Criteria provides technical guideline specifications for smear microscopy in detecting Leishmania in medical institutions and disease prevention and control institutions. Combined with the current endemic situation of kala-azar in China, this paper interprets the main content of the Criteria to promote the publicity and implementation.

Key words： Leishmaniasis; Leishmania; Smear microscopic exanimation; Criteria
