Hi Jeff, It is probably doc speak for exactly what you have been saying all along - a virus. viruses don't show up in sputum but in my long and tortuous relationships with doctors and labs, if the results come back negative ( ie they don't have the capability to find the bacteria) they say that it is a virus. If it is actually a virus, Hopefully it will eventually burn itself out without giving you a secondary bacterial infrction. Try to take it easy.
