Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Diagnosis of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Blood test Carbon monoxide poisoning is diagnosed by measuring the level of carbon monoxide in the blood. Because symptoms can be vague and variable, mild carbon monoxide poisoning may be mistaken for the flu. If people from the same dwelling, particularly a heated dwelling, all experience vague flu-like symptoms at the same time, doctors may suspect carbon monoxide exposure as the cause.
