Overview
Laboratory Findings
Whenever possible, the diagnosis of malaria should always be confirmed by laboratory tests. These should include:
- Specific diagnostic tests for malaria
- Laboratory workup
Laboratory Findings
The table below displays the nonspecific laboratory abnormalities associated with Ebola infection, including:[1]
| Test | Findings |
|---|---|
| Complete Blood Count | Decreased Hemoglobin Decreased Hematocrit Microcytosis Decreased Haptoglobin |
| White blood cell count | Elevated or Decreased Leukocyte Count |
| Biochemistry | Hypoglycemia Elevated Creatinine Elevated LDH Possible Hyponatremia Acidosis: High Lactate; Low Bicarbonate |
| Coagulation | Thrombocytopenia |
| Urinalysis | Proteinuria Hemoglobinuria |
