Overview
Manual differential CBC: This is a simple test and basic screening for regional and generalized lymphadenopathy. Bacterial, viral, or fungal pathology may be suggested by the number and differentiation of white blood cells. Furthermore, with many hematological neoplasms causing lymphadenopathy, typical white blood cell (WBC) trends are observed.
Laboratory findings
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy, may include:[1][2]
Complete Blood Count
- Elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
- Mild neutropenia
- Leukocytosis
- Elevated markers of inflammation and acute phase reactants (e.g. ESR,C-reactive protein, ferritin)
