The Significance of Positive Cultures

I. D. BOBROWITZ M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 The Municipal Sanatorium, Otisville, New York. Department of Hospitals, City of New York.

This is a study of 107 cases with all sputum and gastric concentrates negative and only cultures were positive. The patients have been considered in three groups: those with a single, occasional, or majority of the cultures positive. We have observed other patients with a similar grouping of positive cultures who also had occasional positive sputum or gastric concentrates. The positive cultures have been correlated with the type of infiltration, roentgenological changes, clinical condition, course of the disease, treatment, other laboratory findings and the period of follow-up observation.

Conclusions concerning the significance of the positive cultures as related to the factors mentioned above have been presented.
