CBC/CBP Report for Respiratory Infection

What is a CBP or CBC report?

A Complete Blood Count (CBC) test measures the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, haemoglobin, and hematocrit.

 A Complete Blood Picture (CBP) test gives levels of haemoglobin, red blood cells, and platelets, along with packed cell volume and a hemogram. 

For reference;

 

Why is it important?

Please make sure that you submit either CBC or CBP report while applying for reimbursement in case of an acute lower respiratory infection, because:

  • The complete blood count can function as an early indicator of dengue fever
  • It confirms the disease 
  • The  report also helps demonstrate the necessity for treatment and hospitalisation
How to get this document?

You can instantly get the test report upon conducting a CBP/CBC test.  Request your doctor/hospital for the report if the test has been done already. You can also schedule a test at a designated laboratory or testing facility and get the results.
