After 2 1/2 months of this horrible cough with white sputum, I asked for a culture. Since reggie had been treated with IV antibiotics during his december hospitalization, i had a hard time convincing the doctors that this was bacterial. The culture came back positive for pseudomonas and enterococcus. Which is usually a nosocomial infection, so he acquired the pseudomonas during is last hospitalization. I am happy we have a treatable diagnosis. Reggie is in the hospital on IV Zosyn
