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]

Laboratory findings
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
