=== BALs don't imply C+S ===

When a BAL (Bronchial Aspiration and Lavage) is done, and a '''specimen is sent''' for bacterial or fungal cultures, then include in count for C+S. Don't assume when BAL is done that a culture for C&S is sent. Check the EPR.

=== not included ===

Counts not included as sputum for C+S:

* AFB - test done differently and in separate medium so not counted under C+S

* Viral - totally different testing method, so not counted under C+S. - Dr. Kumar. - [[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 17:55, 2014 October 21 (CDT)

* cytology

* rejected specimens are not included in lab counts

* pleural fluid
