Hold aspirate for s/l "proprio" - MCR

Posted: Feb 14, 2014

The doctor is saying this regarding an aspirate that was sent to the lab, "We have requsted that they hold this for (s/l) proprio." I don't know if this is a term meaning "for later" or if it is short for some bacteria name. Help!!

where is the aspirate from? what the diagnosis? - nm

The aspirate is from the knee for an effusion. No diagnosis yet. Recently had Orthovisc and an injury.

maybe propio (Propionibacterium) - nm
