Scoop, I’m sorry, but I answered wrong about the sputum results-must have needed more coffee. One of those specimens did grow pseudomonas putida and the Penn doc offered inhaled gentamicin for 4 weeks. I declined because the count was low and I was improving by the time it came back and I discussed with doc. He was ok with watching. I also have some hearing loss and gent can cause more.
. I’d had neg cultures of the yellow stuff before I went to Mayo for diagnosis and plan and into Penn for follow up.
