What is Infectious Disease Diagnostics?
Infectious disease diagnostics refers to the systematic process of identifying pathogens—such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites—that cause diseases in humans. These diagnostics are critical for early detection, accurate treatment selection, and preventing disease spread. By analyzing biological samples (e.g., blood, saliva, or tissue), diagnostic tools detect specific markers, genetic material, or immune responses linked to infections, enabling clinicians to distinguish between different types of pathogens and tailor interventions effectively.
General Laboratory Tests for Infectious Diseases
| Complete Blood Count (CBC) |
| White Blood Cell (WBC) Count |
- Bacterial Infections: Elevated WBCs (leukocytosis) are typical in pyogenic infections like meningococcal meningitis, sepsis, and scarlet fever. However, Gram-negative infections (e.g., brucellosis, typhoid fever) may show normal or reduced WBCs.
- Viral Infections: WBCs often decrease or remain normal (e.g., influenza, dengue, hepatitis), though exceptions like hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or Japanese encephalitis may present leukocytosis.
- Protozoal Infections: Reduced WBCs are common in malaria or leishmaniasis.
|
| Differential Count |
- Neutrophilia (increased neutrophils) usually mirrors WBC trends but may decouple in diseases like HFRS, where neutrophils decrease despite leukocytosis, accompanied by lymphocytosis and atypical lymphocytes.
- The presence of immature neutrophils (e.g., band forms) without significant leukocytosis suggests severe infection (e.g., sepsis).
- Lymphocytosis with atypical lymphocytes is the hallmark of infectious mononucleosis.
- Eosinophilia indicates helminth infections (e.g., hookworm, schistosomiasis, paragonimiasis), while eosinopenia occurs in typhoid or meningococcal disease.
|
| Urinalysis |
| Useful for diagnosing leptospirosis and HFRS, which often present with proteinuria, pyuria (WBCs in urine), and hematuria (RBCs). HFRS may also exhibit membranous debris in urine. |
| Stool Examination |
Detects intestinal pathogens
Bacterial Dysentery: Mucopurulent bloody stools.
Amebic Dysentery: "Fruit jelly" stools containing trophozoites. |
| Blood Biochemistry |
| Supports diagnoses of hepatitis (elevated liver enzymes) or HFRS (azotemia, electrolyte imbalances). |
