This is what the results of my knee synovial fluid culture look like for context. If anyone understands it, please do let me know.

There is a discussion ongoing here in the benefits vs problems of patient portal access to medical info without a medical discussion. This is a perfect example of how providing patients with uninterpreted medical results creates unnecessary and even significant distress for some. I'm sorry you are unnecessarily burdened with having to interpret medical results. I hope you share with your Dr how much distress you endured by not understanding what the significance of this was. Please develop a system with him for being alerted to when there is a problem vs when there is not a problem. You don't need this additional stress! I hope you have some peace of mind. I wish I could be more help but the solution is for you + your Dr to develop a true therapeutic relationship. Ask bluntly for more info and support if that what it takes. Hug

I'm not a Dr or Lab Technologist. THIS IS NOT MEDICAL INFORMATION. DO NOT RELY ON anything not from a Dr or Lab Tech.
But for the sake of discussion:
This is a normal organism found on the skin. General everywhere everyday Staph. 'Rare' refers to a rare - as in very few of them - organism found seen. Coag neg is good. It rules out one problem type. Not S etc rules out another problem.
