Guest guest Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Does anyone know information about the right way sputum cultures should be handled. How long can they be left out, how long do you have to get the best results. I just want some info so I can have our doc call and hopefully have it set up so we can use the hospital lab instead. Just found out our lab does not even plate them till late, around 6-7pm. No wonder he has never grown anything out at that lab, only the hospital lab. Thanks Darci 9wcf *-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-* WARNING: Consult a trusted doctor before ANY change to your treatment. @}->- @}->- @}->- Visit us at Http://Cystic-L.org and see our extensive Handbook on-line (contains much CF information, and references to other CF resources), the Photo Archives (people with CF, parents with CF, subscribers to Cystic-L, and a memorial page), the CF Shop, the world's largest cystic fibrosis bookstore (in the CF Shop), and much more! @}->- @}->- @}->- KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! *-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-**-.,,.-* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
