Examination of sputum is the least invasive method of obtaining a cytologic diagnosis in a patient suspected of harboring lung cancer. Cytologic diagnosis has advanced to a point where it is of comparable value to histology. The authors discuss the sensitivity, specificity, reliability, and pitfalls of sputum cytology as well as the role it plays in ...

CYTOLOGICAL EXAMINATION OF THE SPUTUM
The Lancet, 1967Abstract The importance of non-malignant sputum cytology is stressed. A method is described whereby sputum is fixed in formol/saline-solution, and liquefied in an ultrasonic disintegrator. Results using this technique are preferred to those obtained with chemical and enzymatic methods. Specimens in formalin can be posted.

Chest, 2009
Normal airway mucus lines the epithelial surface and provides an important innate immune function by detoxifying noxious molecules and by trapping and removing pathogens and particulates from the airway via mucociliary clearance. The major macromolecular constituents of normal mucus, the mucin glycoproteins, are large, heavily glycosylated proteins ...

Summary Examination of sputum for cancer cells as now performed at several hospitals and is not confined to special clinics for chest disease. From published and unpublished records it can be said to be a reasonably reliable aid to diagnosis. The technique is easy and success depends chiefly on close attention to detail and industry in making use of ...

Detection of pneumolysin in sputum
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1999Western blot detection of the species-specific pneumococcal product, pneumolysin (SPN), was shown to be almost as sensitive as PCR for the non-cultural detection of pneumococci in 27 Streptococcus pneumoniae culture-positive sputa from patients stated to have chest infections. Both techniques were considerably more sensitive than counter-current immuno-

Sputum analysis and culture is the most common method of specific diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infections. Culture of a properly screened, expectorated sputum sample will identify the pathogen in most cases of bacterial pneumonia. Expectorated sputa, as well as those obtained by aspiration from the upper airway, are subject to oropharyngeal ...

Effect of Sputum on Streptomycin
Nature, 1948IN a small series of seventeen cases of whooping cough treated with streptomycin, no beneficial effects were noted. The children receiving parenteral therapy, five hours after injection, had blood-levels of 2–12 units per ml. It was not possible to detect streptomycin in the blood of thirteen patients receiving aerosal therapy after 15, 30, 60 min.
