It is a secretion that is produced in the lungs and the bronchi.
This mucus-like secretion may become infected, bloodstained, or contain abnormal cells that may lead to a diagnosis

Tracheobronchial secreations are an inconstant mixture of plasma, water, electrolytes and mucinAs these mixture pas through the lower and upper respiratory tract, they become contaminated with cellular exfoliations, nasal and salivary gland secretions and normal bacterial flora of the oral cavity

1. Drinking a lot of water and other fluids the night before the test may help to get the sample
2. To be asked to cough deeply and spit any sputum in a sterile cup
3. The sputum is then taken to the laboratory
4. There, it is placed in a special substance (medium) under conditions that allow the organisms to grow

Sputum Analysis
18
This slide shows typical buccal squamous epithelial cells which are much larger than polymorph nuclear leukocytes (PMN) and take up most of the field in a high power view
This cell is covered with chains of Gram positive cocci typical of normal oral flora such as peptostreptococci. (oil immersion, 1000x)
![Page 19: Sputum analysis.final 1](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012306/5454e5adaf795946778b87bf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1. Appearance• It may be described as liquid
(serous), mucous, purulent, bloody or combination of theses
2. Color• Its color is determined by the
material contained, and often color can indicate the pathological process
• Yellow color indicates pus and epithelial cells are present

Odor• Usually no odor is present in normal
and pathological sputum, but if bacterial decomposition has been taken place within the body or after expectoration, a variety of odor will be present

1. Cheesy Masses • These are fragments of necrotic
pulmonary tissue seen in such disease as pulmonary gangrene or tuberculosis
2. Bronchial Casts• These are branching tree like casts of
bronchi whose size varies with that of bronchi in which they are formed
• They are composed of fibrin and are white or gray color

3. Broncholiths (Lung Stones)• They are formed by calcification
of necrotic or infected tissues• Chronic tuberculosis is the most
common cause for their formation

4. Dietrich's Plugs• They are frequently observed
in putrid bronchitis and bronchiectasis
• They are composed of cellular debris, fatty acids, crystals, fat globules and bacteria

Pneumonia, Cont’d
The alveoli filled with mucus such as submucosa widened by smooth muscle hypertrophy, edema, and inflammation (mainly eosinophils)
These are changes of bronchial asthma
The peripheral eosinophil count or the sputum eosinophils can be increased during an asthmatic attack.

Pneumonia symptoms vary depending upon the type of pneumonia. Symptoms may include:•Fever •Chest pain and/or muscle pain •Cough that may produce white, yellow, or green mucus (phlegm)
•Lack of energy

Sputum Analysis: Pneumonia
28
Moraxella catarrhalis, a large number of Gram negative (red) cocci are seen and many appear to be attaching to or residing within the PMNs
Some physicians confuse these organisms with the Gram negative coccobacillary

Because of the red background produced by the Gram stain method, these organisms can be difficult to see (oil immersion, 1000x)
