A member asked:
What does occasional gram positive cocci and rare gram negative rods mean from a sputum culture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that,what you described is not a cause for concern. Wish you good health!
