Epi-fluorescence microscope LED light source
This is part of a table of comparison for the evaluation of an epi-fluorescent microscope LED light source, compared with a traditional mercury vapour light source.
Résultats comparés entre le Module xxxx et une lampe à vapeur de mercure sur 689 prélèvements
63 BAAR+ avec LED ou VM
4 quantifications discordantes
3 **côtés** 1 à 9 BAAR/champ avec VM et 10BAAR/lame avec LED
1 **côté** 10 à 99 BAAR/champ avec VM et >100 BAAR/champ avec LED
(BAAR = AFB = Acid Fast Bacillus; VM = mercury vapour lamp, LED = LED lamp)
I'm not at all specialised in the field - I wonder if côté is a typo for coté? Specialist help welcome!

I think that your suspicion that it's a typo for coté is right, so graded or reported:
http://wwwn.cdc.gov/dls/ila/documents/lstc2.pdf
LABORATORY SERVICES IN TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL (see pages 43-44)
"the following semi-quantitative method of reporting is recommended:
No of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) Fields Report
No AFB per 100 immersion fields No acid-fast bacilli
observed
(No AFB per 100 fields)
1-9 AFB per 100 immersion fields record exact figure
(1 to 9 AFB per 100 fields)
10 to 99 AFB per 100 immersion fields 1+
(10 to 99 AFB per 100
fields)
1 to 10 AFB per field 2+
(1 to 10 AFB per field in
50 fields)
more than 10 AFB per field 3+
(More than 10 AFB per
field in 20 fields)
http://www.qbcdiagnostics.com/products/fm/fast/files/fast_us...
"Reporting Results
Follow this recommended grading scale to quantify AFB (based on the WHO guidelines for AFB smear grading:
1-9 AFB total
10-99 AFB total
1-10 per field
>10 per field" etc.
