sangue total

Medical (general)
O diagnóstico parasitológico, na fase aguda (da doença de Chagas), pode ser realizado pela visualização direta de formas tripomastigotas à microscopia, como por exemplo, em *sangue total*, esfregaço sanguíneo, creme leucocitário ou exame da gota espessa com coloração pelo Giemsa.
What I think I have:
esfregaço sanguíneo - thin blood smear
creme leucocitário - buffy coat
exame de gota espessa - thick blood smear
But I can't find any site mentioning a fourth test, which I believe would be the "sangue total."

Note from asker:
| Thanks very much. I don't understand why the author wrote this separately though, because both types of smears use whole blood. |

whole blood
The site below shows scores of translated medical texts using "sangue total." nearly all of them translate it as "whole blood." Those that don't, simply refer to it as "blood." It's a very helpful site! See also the sample sentences from that site, below. (Ignore the capitalization; it was just for this particular reference.)
Example sentence:
A amostra de sangue total de picada no dedo pode ser aplicada no dispositivo de teste usando um tubo capilar ou deixando pingar as gotas sobre este.
The Fingerstick Whole Blood specimen can be applied to the test using either a capillary tube or by hanging drops.
