Overview
Diagnostic tests are rarely needed to confirm the diagnosis of acute bronchitis. In very specific condition serologic tests, viral cultures or sputum analyses may be applied. Generally the inflammatory markers raise during the course of acute bronchitis.
Laboratory Tests
- Diagnostic tests are rarely needed to confirm the diagnosis of acute bronchitis.
- Viral cultures, serologic assays, and sputum analyses may be perform when a potentially treatable infection is thought to be circulating or due to epidemilogic purposes[1].
- Serologic assays
- Procalcitonin
