agree Muriel Vasconcellos : Yes!! I've been railing against "bacilliferous" for decades - it's nothing but a loan from Portuguese and Spanish, and US doctors don't even understand what you're talking about.

Thanks so much Muriel. I completely agree with you, even though I found out that the word does exist in English (it's in Dorland's). But like you say it's basically not used in English medical language.

Thanks Rita.
agree jmr620808 : 100%, do not use "bacilliferous". Smear-positive is the appropriate term.

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : This is actually a calque - a loan from Portuguese and Spanish. US doctors don't understand the word when you use it. I have had TB in the family and struggled to make diagnoses from Latin America understood in the US.
