ABSTRACT: Based on mono station use for >12 continuous years (since 1998) in drug resistant core endemic region, India, anti-inflammatory effect on WBC is demonstrated using a simple; economic monocular microscope that can be used out in the open—using day light/lamp. Is infinitely helpful for rural clinicians and the administrations, in developing nations. Although indispensable, a field microscope has become expensive; is in short supply; there is a crying need in the rural and the remote.
