Replies to "Do you do sputum culture too? Or does the doctor always recommend bronchoscopy?"
Hi, no sputum cultures. Typically I don’t have much of a cough and can’t produce a good sample. My infectious disease doc says “Junk in, junk out”. He means lousy samples will yield lousy results. So we do bronchoscopy and they get their samples that way. Of course we’re not doing that monthly like a sputum culture.
