Lab Orders

Since I have a copy of the lab orders I figured I would research and see exactly what they are testing for...that may have been a BAD idea...

Streptococcus Pneumoniae IGG AB - The bacterium can cause pneumonia, usually of the lobar type, paranasal sinusitis and otitis media, or meningitis, which is usually secondary to one of the former infections. It also causes osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, endocarditis, peritonitis, cellulitis and brain abscesses. Streptococcus pneumoniae is currently the leading cause of invasive bacterial disease in children and the elderly

Haemophilus Influenza Type B Antibody -  Invasive disease caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b can affect many organ systems. The most common types of invasive disease are pneumonia, occult febrile bacteremia, meningitis, epiglottitis, septic arthritis, cellulitis, otitis media, purulent pericarditis, and other less common infections such as endocarditis, and osteomyelitis.

Tetanus Antitoxiod - not sure..can't find really what this is..assuming it's some tetanus

Immunoglobulin G - uhm, not sure on this one..I think it has to do with not getting a good immune system from MOM during pregnancy and from breast feeding...

CBC - Can you hear Dr. Green order one ? Or maybe Meredith Grey..lol..(of course I didn't hear a chem 7 along with that)

WOW..I don't know what to think..I could drive myself crazy looking at all the things that "could" be wrong with him !!!
