We had lab work run on the fluid. We didn't do a culture on his blood work because at the time we were pretty sure it was lymphoma. The lab work didn't show lymphoma which came as a surprise. We were left with thinking it was a (I think viral) infection. He didn't believe it was contagious. I have two questions 1) Should we go back and get a culture on the fluid? 2) What will happen to Piccolo if we do nothing (including not draining the fluid)? Thank you Mike [Posted in FML 7855]
