R85.5: Abnormal findings in specimens from digestive organs and abdominal cavity : abnormal microbiological findings
Food is initially broken down in the body in small components and then absorbed in the blood. This is called digestion. Various organs are required for digesting food. The digestive organs include the gullet, the stomach, the pancreas, and the intestines, for example.
The sample of the sampled fluid normally only contains a certain amount of different substances. These substances include certain cells and certain proteins, for example. Sometimes you can also detect substances or pathogens in the sample that are not normally found there.
Pathogens have been detected in your sample. Pathogens can cause inflammation in the body, for example.
