Laboratory Investigation – Infectious Diseases
Laboratory tests can sort organisms directly (eg, visually, using a microscope, grow the organism in culture) or indirectly (eg, identify antibodies against the organism). Some tests (eg, Gram stain, routine aerobic culture) can detect a wide variation in pathogens and are commonly performed for many suspected infectious diseases. However, since insured pathogens are lost in these tests, clinicians should be aware of the limitations of each test for each suspected pathogen. In such cases, clinicians should call for specific tests for the suspected pathogen (for example, special stains or culture media) or advise the laboratory of the suspected organism (s) so that they can select tests. More specific.
