Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of adenoiditis include neutrophilia, positive culture for organism during throat exam sampling, and positive blood culture for the organism in severe cases.[1]
Laboratory findings
- Neutrophilia in CBC
- Throat examinations using swabs to obtain samples of bacteria and other organisms and culture them.
- Blood tests to determine the presence of organisms in blood (especially in ill patients with acute disease).
