Bacteriological investigation of cough request must be made only when indicated, requiring a permanent and effective communication between clinician and laboratory doctor. The pathological products for cyto-bacteriological examination must be accompanied by receipts, stating information on diagnosis, treatment with antibiotics on the way or completed, for the lab doctor to be endorsed on the arguments of pathology.
