Overview
Laboratory Findings
Determining that Salmonella is the cause of the illness depends on laboratory tests that identify Salmonella in the stools of an infected person. These tests are sometimes not performed unless the laboratory is instructed specifically to look for the organism. Once Salmonella has been identified, further testing can determine its specific type, and which antibiotics could be used to treat it.
The table below displays the nonspecific laboratory abnormalities associated with Salmonellosis, including:[1]
