mrsa

We swab every nose that is admitted to the ICU. Many times they are colonized but not actively sick from MRSA. We do not treat nasal colonization in the absence of active infection. They are still isolated for the admission, and repeat admissions to prevent healthcare workers from spreading it to other patients.

The CDC has a flowsheet for outpatient treatment.

Multi drug resistant organisms, MDRO continue to rise and the results can be deadly when the infection invades systemically.

We can't change the pathology, we can only stop eating antibiotics for the common cold.

I hope your infection clears up soon. :heart:

They have me on clindamycin.
 
Sons had it. Would never wish it on anyone.

Hope you have a quick recovery moving forward
