why would dr order immunology and virology blood tests

[myoriginal3]

I was discharged medically from hospital today at midday approx.
While waiting for the usual paperwork the haemotologist came at about 2pm for bloods.
I explained I was already discharged and had bloods already taken this morning.
So she said they wouldn't be usual bloods.
I asked her whether results would go to gp
She said to ask Dr.
Except he didn't come back to have the opportunity to ask

Aibu to ask what the Fuck they're testing for?

Based on the limited info you provide:

Immunology tests = looking for any problems with your immune system that made you more likely to 1)catch, and 2)try to die from the pneumonia. More reliable results when recovering, not whilst still really sick, so probably why done at the last minute.

Virology tests = any evidence that you recently had one of the weird viruses that make you more likely to have a secondary chest infection. Like, for instance, influenza. May be a repeat of tests you've already had, as for some viruses you're looking for a change in the body's immune response to them, rather than the virus itself.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the explanations

No worries, hope it all gets better xxx
