Proper sputum specimen collection involves obtaining early morning deep cough specimens after mouth rinsing (without antiseptic), collecting in a sterile container, and avoiding saliva contamination. Patients should be instructed to take a deep breath and cough deeply from the chest, not just clear the throat. Three consecutive morning specimens are often recommended for optimal yield. The specimen should be transported to the laboratory promptly (within 2 hours) or refrigerated if delay is anticipated. For suspected tuberculosis, respiratory isolation precautions should be followed during collection to prevent aerosol transmission.
