White cell count tells you there is an inflammatory reaction-it does not tell if there is an infection because A) there are types of viral or bacterial infections and situations in which the body does not respond to the infection properly, and thus WBC does not increase and \nB) there are numerous situations in which WBC will increase in the absence of infection.\nThe only truly valid method is to culture the area of infection and see if there are pathological bacteria or viruses present.  There are currently very sensitive ELISA assays for a number of diseases, which can show the presence of the virus or bacteria immediately, without having to wait for the culture.

A pyogenic infection just means it's an infection producing pus. So, to diagnose any infection, you could take out the pus and send it to the laboratory for culture to see what organisms grow during the culture. In addition, if for example, the doctor thinks it could be a kidney infection, he/she could send a clean urine specimen for culture.  If the doctor thinks the bacteria can be found in the bloodstream, he/she could take some blood from you and send it off for culture. Then there are other investigations, for example, a chest x-ray where one can see some shadow in the chest x-ray which would suggest a chest infection. And so on.

you need to specify what pathogen you are working with.

Well all foreign objects entering into body are considered as enemies by immune system....the foreign particle entering in body is called as antigen, when immune system is triggered and produces specific antibodies again that particular antigen.\n\nHope this helps!!!

blood tests can determine any and all infections but there are very many different tests for different reasons\npathology  department will need to know in what infection area to check\nin  u.k.  ---  ear- nose and throat  [ e.n.t] is a specialist  area and can diagnose inner ear problems  often without blood tests\nbe  well

Bored at work:\n\nYou could look for reverse transcriptase activity in infected cells.  This is a sure sign of RNA being turned into DNA.\n\nYou could purify virus from the aftermath of infected cells.  Then set up experiments to determine the nature of what you've isolated and what its properties are.

HIV has no obvious symptoms.  The only way to detect it is by a blood test.\nAIDS is usually diagnosed when a person develops certain opportunistic infections not seen in people with healthy immune systems.  Kaposi's sarcoma, pneumocystis carinii, shingles, fungal infections.  The person also is more likely to catch colds and flu that run a longer course than is to be expected.

The simplest way to determine wether a water sample has microbes or not is MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION ie,to view a drop of that water under a microscope and observe for any micro organisms.
