  • Anemia if suspected, evaluate by doing complete blood count (CBC)
  • Infection if suspected, the following levels should be considered testing:
    • Blood gas analysis (BGA)
    • Blood lactate level
    • Blood glucose levels to evaluate hypoglycaemia
    • Liver enzymes
    • Lumbar puncture (LP)
    • Cerebrospinal fluid analysis (CSF)
    • Serum electrolytes
    • Blood urea
    • Calcium levels
    • Phosphate levels
    • Urinalysis and culture
    • Virology screening
    • Bacterial screening
