Laboratory Findings
- Complete blood count and differential count - elevated white cell count is seen in infections, lymphomas, leukemias
- Peripheral smear - to examine parasitic diseases (e.g filariasis, kala-azar)
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) - elevated in infections
- Liver function tests - for hepatitis virus infection
- Urine analysis - for diagnosing systemic infections causing lymphadenopathy
- Lactate dehydrogenase - elevated in lymphomas, leukemias and other malignancies
- Serum uric acid - elevated in lymphomas, leukemias and other malignancies
- Blood cultures - gold standard for diagnosing infections
- Immunoglobulin titers - for hepatitis B
- Heterophile test - for Infectious mononucleosis
- Rapid plasma reagen (RPR) - for Syphilis
- HIV antibody test
