The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Schaffner's Granules**: Schaffner's granules, also known as Schaffner's dots, are specific cellular features associated with malaria infection. 2. **Identifying the Location**: The question asks where these granules are found in malaria patients. The options provided include liver cells, red blood cells (RBC), signet ring trophozoites, and gametocytes of Plasmodium. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Liver Cells**: Schaffner's granules are not found in liver cells. The liver is involved in the life cycle of the malaria parasite but does not contain these granules. - **Red Blood Cells (RBC)**: Schaffner's granules are specifically found in the red blood cells of infected individuals. This is the primary site where these granules are observed. - **Signet Ring Trophozoites**: This stage refers to the early developmental form of the malaria parasite, but Schaffner's granules are not associated with this stage. - **Gametocytes of Plasmodium**: These are the sexual forms of the malaria parasite, and Schaffner's granules are not found here either. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that Schaffner's granules are found in the red blood cells (RBC) of malaria patients. 5. **Significance**: The presence of Schaffner's granules is a hematological finding that helps in the diagnosis of malaria, particularly associated with the species Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium vivax. ### Final Answer: Schaffner's granules are found in the red blood cells (RBC) of malaria patients. ---
