Rhodotorula culture and "many respiratory flora" in sputum

Rhodotorula culture and

I truly understand your feelings about those culture results. When Emily was first dx'ed, the first culture results told us she was growing staph and I was SO freaked out. To think of bacteria just lurking in her lungs grossed me out to no end and when we were told they didn't even treat it unless she was sick I was shocked. (I understood it once they explained it, but at the time I was completely new to the disease and how it was treated.) It also weirded me out this past spring when she cultured something our local hospital lab couldn't identify and they had to send it out to a special one for identification and we had to wait a month to find out what it was. It didn't turn out to be a big deal as far as what she was growing, but again- their propensity for growing bugs down there, yuck! Culture results are always a little nervewracking.

Just to follow up for anyone down the road who sees this thread, my wife called the doctor and asked about these results, and was told that they were "insignificant." Thanks for calming us down in the meantime.
