: For all the things you reported in your question, you should see your internist as soon as you can.

Question 1

Accepted Answer

UTI Rx: Let the doctor who prescribed the penecillin know your symptoms and urinalysis/urine culture results and leave the phone number of your pharmacy so a new prescription can be called in immediately.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Generally Good: Rare is good and likely not enough to do a cell count. It should also be negative for bacteria. Review with your doctor. A culture should also be available in 2-3 days. All the best.

Question 4

what does a vaginal gram stain of many epithelial cells , moderate wbcs seen, many gram positive rods, & moderate gram positive cocci indicate?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial vaginosis: is an overgrowth of hodge podge of bacteria in the vaginal vault.  This overgrowth can lead to unpleasant odor, discharge and abdominal pain . BV can be treated easily most of the time.

Question 5

sputum culture showed normal flora.gram stain showed mod.amt of gram positive and neg. bacilli and mod.amt of gram positive cocci.few wbc.concerns?

Accepted Answer

No.: From your description, it sounds like the diagnosis was normal flora present. The bacilli and cocci with few WBCs are just describing that. Normal flora is a mixed population like that described. When one has an infection, the causative organism will predominate and will likely be the only thing present. There will also usually be numerous WBCs as these are your cells that fight infection.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

: Staphylococcus aureus is from culture result, not gram stain. The result is consistent with an infected wound due to staphylococcus aureus, which is the most common bacteria in wound infection.

gram stain result	2+ epithelial cells 	
gram stain result	2+ mixed bacterial morphotypes seen on gram stain?

Accepted Answer

Normal sputum: These are normal sputum Gram stain and culture results. How important or reassuring that is depends on much more information from medical history, physical exam, other lab tests, and probably chest Xray or other imaging. Discuss with your doctor. Good luck.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

WBC: Best test is probably just to repeat the WBC in a few weeks.

Question 9

does a sinus infection in an infant cause a high fever and elevated wbc?

Accepted Answer

The sinuses, or air : Spaces, are not well-developed enough in an infant for a diagnosis of sinusitis. If there is no middle ear infection, pneumonia  or meningitis to define the organs involved in a viral or bacterial infection, the doctor will look for a urinary tract infection or sepsis (more generalized infection)  if the baby is acting ill or < 3 mos. Old, he may be hospitalized to insure his safety.
