Overview
There are no specific laboratory findings associated with acute histoplasma infection. Diagnosis is confirmed by the demonstration of the yeast cells from tissue samples or body fluids, culture and antigen detection.
Laboratory Findings
There are no specific laboratory findings associated with acute histoplasma infection. Diagnosis is confirmed by the demonstration of the yeast cells from tissue samples or body fluids, culture and antigen detection.[1][2]
- The following laboratory findings can be present in patient with a disseminated histoplasma infection:
- Anemia
- Leukopenia
- Thrombocytopenia
- Elevated liver enzymes
- Elevated bilirubin
- Elevated lactate dehydrogenase
- Elevated ferritin
