Types of Infectious Disease Tests: An Overview

▤ Summary

In severe cases, a low platelet count can lead to dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), which can be fatal without timely medical intervention. It is highly sensitive and offers fast and accurate results, so it is a standard test to identify the presence of specific pathogens. Test results are usually available within a few hours, so the UAT is often used when a patient is hospitalized with a severe respiratory infection and needs a rapid diagnosis. A fecal immunochemical test detects hidden blood in stool samples, a potential sign of colorectal cancer. Using a CT scan, a healthcare provider can find the source of a bacterial infection based on abnormal fluid accumulation or tissue growth.
