Overview
Laboratory tests for Campylobacteriosis include gram stain of stool and stool culture along with other blood test.
Laboratory Findings
Campylobacter organisms can be detected on gram stain of stool with high specificity and a sensitivity of ~60%, but are most often diagnosed by stool culture. Fecal leukocytes are present and indicate an inflammatory diarrhea.
