When I leave a sputum culture they test for all of these each time. The acid fast culture is for the NTM/MAC and takes 30 days. Curious if anyone gets tested for anything else not on the list?
GRAM STAIN
LEGIONELLA CULTURE
FUNGAL CULTURE
ACID FAST SMEAR

Hi scoop,
My Dr sent in my tests for all you listed but Legionella and just got the final results yesterday,
I'm positive for all. That sucks, but now waiting for my Dr appointment to find out how they want to treat all of this.
