Blood samples are very useful for diagnosing blood pathologies because you can place a drop of the blood sample on a slide, fix the sample to the slide and evaluate a large number of blood cells for abnormal shapes, sizes and arrangements. You can also look for parasites in the blood as well as bacterial and fungal infections.
