Sputum cultures always take awhile to comeback from the lab.
Also wanted to say thank you medicosis for being so awesome. When I graduate med school one day, I would like to be your resident.

Okay, I told all my colleagues about your videos. You're simply amazing

[medicanet]

Flawless like always, keep doing well.

As an ex- histology lab assistant I wasn't aware how long a culture for TB takes to get back and I'm currently waiting. When you said 6-8 wks I nearly died from the shock. I can only hope they start me on antibiotics before then! I definitely won't be complaining!! 😅😅😅

I love your humour while delivering concise information.

If doctor said u have inactive tb is this possible that tb bacteria will grow in the culture? Thanks

[RajKumar-ulvg]

I have completed my 6 months of tb medication now I am going for tb sputum culture will I get positive results or negative results please let me know because I'm planning for study abroad

Here the thing is I don't have any kind of tb symptoms like loss of appetite, weight loss, throat burning.

Thank you

I love your videos they are so clear and concise. Still I have 2 questions: does sputum culture diagnose Bronchiectasis?. I know that B is an enlargement of the airways (normally seen in x-ray) that can or cannot lead to infection. Sputum culture may diagnose Tuberculosis.
Second: normally antibiotics do not kill the bacteria, as you says, they stop the growth. Thanks keep up the good work!

[philistinezigurath]

how do you treat tuberculosis before the culture?

[laylaabdulaahi]

I’m taking antibiotics will it effect my sputum test ? If I do the test while I’m on antibiotics

[estelaneicelyte]

a question, if you produce more sputum, say using hypertonic saline, doesn't that give more volume for the bacteria to grow?

Cheer~~~a mixture of saliva and mucus coughed up from the respiratory tract, typically as a result of infection or other disease and often examined microscopically to aid medical diagnosis.😊

[littlebeebs]

What if I coughed it onto a paper towel first thing in the morning? My appointment isn’t till 1:40 pm today. Is that good enough?

[serumbae]

i cannot seem to produce sputum in the morning, i already got light headed and my throat hurts from actually tryin to get the sputum out... is there another way to produce sputum besides breathing in and out?

[jyotiprokash]
