Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of tracheitis include leukocytosis, increased ESR and C- reactive protein. [1]
Laboratory Findings
Tests that may be done to diagnose this condition include [2]:
- Complete Blood Picture - leukocytosis or leukopenia

- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - it is an acute phase reactant that may be increased
- Arterial Blood Gas - Hypoxemia
- Nasopharyngeal culture
- Tracheal culture
- Blood culture
- Flexible/ Direct laryngoscopy
- Bronchoscopy
