Hello,
i have received test results that my
doctor asked me (sputum bacteriological
exam). However he will not be available
to read them until next week and I am
curious.
Can anyone tell me what this means
(actually I am translating this from a
foreign language). Here goes:
direct exam
- gram coloration --> few cells/many
leukocytes. Scarce mixed flora (?)
- ziehl-neelsen coloration --> no
acid-alchool resistant bacilla.
Exam of culture (?) - no potentially
pathogenic microorganisms.
What does this mean and what could it be
my doctor wanted to find out?
thank you
