Overview
Ebola infection is associated with nonspecific laboratory abnormalities including alterations in the white blood cell count, blood chemistry tests and liver function tests, all of which may contribute to a disruption in the clotting process and bleeding.
Laboratory Findings
The table below displays the nonspecific laboratory abnormalities associated with Ebola infection, including:[1]
| Test | Findings |
|---|---|
| White blood cell count | Leucopenia Lymphopenia Neutrophilia |
| Blood smear | Left shift Atypical lymphocytes |
| Coagulation | Consumption of clotting factors Increased concentrations of fibrin degradation products |
| Liver function tests | Raised aspartate aminotransferase Raised alanine aminotransferase Extended prothrombin time Extended partial thromboplastin time |
| Proteins | Hyperproteinemia |
| Urinalysis | Proteinuria |
