Parsing heterogenous data from a text file in Python - python-3.x

Question

I am trying to parse raw data results from a text file into an organised tuple but having trouble getting it right.
My raw data from the textfile looks something like this:
Episode Cumulative Results
EpisodeXD0281119
Date collected21/10/2019
Time collected10:00
Real time PCR for M. tuberculosis (Xpert MTB/Rif Ultra):
PCR result Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex NOT detected
Bacterial Culture:
Bottle: Type FAN Aerobic Plus
Result No growth after 5 days
EpisodeST32423457
Date collected23/02/2019
Time collected09:00
Gram Stain:
Neutrophils Occasional
Gram positive bacilli Moderate (2+)
Gram negative bacilli Numerous (3+)
Gram negative cocci Moderate (2+)
EpisodeST23423457
Date collected23/02/2019
Time collected09:00
Bacterial Culture:
A heavy growth of
1) Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp pneumoniae (KLEPP)
ensure that this organism does not spread in the ward/unit.
A heavy growth of
2) Enterococcus species (ENCSP)
Antibiotic/Culture KLEPP ENCSP
Trimethoprim-sulfam R
Ampicillin / Amoxic R S
Amoxicillin-clavula R
Ciprofloxacin R
Cefuroxime (Parente R
Cefuroxime (Oral) R
Cefotaxime / Ceftri R
Ceftazidime R
Cefepime R
Gentamicin S
Piperacillin/tazoba R
Ertapenem R
Imipenem S
Meropenem R
S - Sensitive ; I - Intermediate ; R - Resistant ; SDD - Sensitive Dose Dependant
Comment for organism KLEPP:
** Please note: this is a carbapenem-RESISTANT organism. Although some
carbapenems may appear susceptible in vitro, these agents should NOT be used as
MONOTHERAPY in the treatment of this patient. **
Please isolate this patient and practice strict contact precautions. Please
inform Infection Prevention and Control as contact screening might be
indicated.
For further advice on the treatment of this isolate, please contact.
The currently available laboratory methods for performing colistin
susceptibility results are unreliable and may not predict clinical outcome.
Based on published data and clinical experience, colistin is a suitable
therapeutic alternative for carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter spp, as well as
carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae. If colistin is clinically indicated,
please carefully assess clinical response.

Creatinine 32 L umol/L 49 - 90
eGFR (MDRD formula) >60 mL/min/1.73 m2
Creatinine 28 L umol/L 49 - 90
eGFR (MDRD formula) >60 mL/min/1.73 m2
Essentially the pattern is that ALL information starts with a unique EPISODE NUMBER and follows with a DATE and TIME and then the result of whatever test. This is the pattern throughout.
What I am trying to parse into my tuple is the date, time, name of the test and the result - whatever it might be. I have the following code:
with open(filename) as f:
data = f.read()
data = data.splitlines()
DS = namedtuple('DS', 'date time name value')
parsed = list()
idx_date = [i for i, r in enumerate(data) if r.strip().startswith('Date')]
for start, stop in zip(idx_date[:-1], idx_date[1:]):
chunk = data[start:stop]
date = time = name = value = None
for row in chunk:
if not row: continue
row = row.strip()
if row.startswith('Episode'): continue
if row.startswith('Date'):
_, date = row.split()
date = date.replace('collected', '')
elif row.startswith('Time'):
_, time = row.split()
time = time.replace('collected', '')
else:
name, value, *_ = row.split()
print (name)
parsed.append(DS(date, time, name, value))
print(parsed)
My error is that I am unable to find a way to parse the heterogeneity of the test RESULT in a way that I can use later, for example for the tuple DS ('DS', 'date time name value'):
DATE = 21/10/2019
TIME = 10:00
NAME = Real time PCR for M tuberculosis or Potassium
RESULT = Negative or 4.7
Any advice appreciated. I have hit a brick wall.
