What blood test can one do to find an infection in the blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood culture: A blood culture study can usually tell if there is an infection in the blood. As soon as a blood culture becomes positive, the microbiology department will isolate, identify and tell you what particular antibiotics will be effective for the specific infection.
