Q: Question About Lab Test Result
asked by: DaveyP2004 on February 3rd, 2006

Hi there,
hope someone can give me a bit more information ?
I had tb 2 years ago and was treated with antibiotics which seemed to work.
Recently I developed a cough that I had over 4 weeks so I went to doctor.
Doctor sent me for an x-ray that was ok and didnt show any problems.
Doctor sent me for sputum lab tests.
He says the results were good but didnt really explain:
1) negative for ziehl-neelson coloration
2) high leucocitary reaction

i guess number 1 is fairly self explanitory ? But number 2 means nothing to me and I cant find anything on internet that explains what this means and if it is good or bad ?
Anyone got any further info or links that might clarify these results ?
Thanks in advance for any help :roll:
