Question About Lab Test Result Posted: 02-03-06 16:04pm


Hi there, hope someone can give me a bit more information ? I had tb 2 years ago and was treated with antibiotics which seemed to work. Recently I developed a cough that I had over 4 weeks so I went to doctor. Doctor sent me for an x-ray that was ok and didnt show any problems. Doctor sent me for sputum lab tests. He says the results were good but didnt really explain: 1) negative for ziehl-neelson coloration 2) high leucocitary reaction i guess number 1 is fairly self explanitory ? But number 2 means nothing to me and I cant find anything on internet that explains what this means and if it is good or bad ? Anyone got any further info or links that might clarify these results ? Thanks in advance for any help :roll:
