Analysis of sputum culture of 675 cases of lower respiratory infection
blood count, blood cultures, sputum cultures.
Objective To study the risk factors and treatment of lower respiratory tract infections due to E. ictaluri, and the cause of its improved detection by sputum culture in recent years.
This study suggests that the recognition of these sonographic features may be more relevant and practical than ascites fluid studies, chest radiographs, tuberculin skin tests, and sputum cultures.
Single indices, such as chest X ray, blood routine, temperature, and sputum culture are all of low sensitivity, except for increased phlegm only, which is highly sensitive.
