Medical Definition of Maurer's clefts

1. Finely granular precipitates or irregular cytoplasmic particles that usually occur diffusely in red blood cells infected with the trophozoites of Plasmodium falciparum, occasionally those of P. Malariae; rarely observed in P. Falciparum blood smears because its trophozoites seldom are seen in peripheral blood. Synonym: Maurer's clefts. (05 Mar 2000)
