A member asked:

A sinus culture showed high haemophilus influenzae. grahm stain - no white blood cells or organizims. could i have an infection with no white cells. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How do you FEEL?: This bacterium can live normally in the sinus as one of your normal friendly flora. Especially if there's not a lot of bacteria or white cells visible, I doubt the area that was swabbed was infected.
