Cipro gram positive coverage

Common Questions and Answers about Cipro gram positive coverage

cipro

Avatar f tn Fully agree with Vance. I have personally got a false positive for Gonno. I knew it wasn't possible and demanded my samples were retested. Negative as I thought. A gam stain btw will only indicate whether it's a gram positive or negative strain of bacteria - not the type for the want of a more complicated explanation. Need pcr for that and as I've just told you, that can even be non specific.......
Avatar n tn Went to Planned Parenthood and tested positive for Gonorrhea. I received the dual treatment of ceftriaxone and azithromycin. The symptoms cleared up and I though it was gone but a week water treatment I started to get discharge and burning again. I went to my PCP and he prescribed Cipro but after 2 doses I got tendon pain so stopped taking it. So I’m now thinking the original treatment didn’t kill it completely because it seems I had a really bad case.
Avatar n tn It is a broad spectrum antibiotic, effective against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Make sure your vet knows about its use before giving it to your dog because several dangerous potential adverse reactions can occur. Cipro has the potential to cause tendon rupture and in animals under 2 years of age it also has a detrimental effect on the bones and joints. It can cause convulsions in any dog and seizures in dogs with central nervous system disorders.
Avatar m tn Still persistance of my sysmptoms (itching, burning), I approached another doctor who tested me for pelvic smear and I was caught with gram-positive cocci and doctor first gave me ceftriaxone i.v. ig for 7days and again for persistance of symptoms, doctor gave me cipro500 for 21 days and just now I finished. But still I feel the symptoms mildly. please advise me.
Avatar m tn Burning, eurethral discomfort, + constant need to urinate begin at 4 days (no significant discharge). Took 1 gram cipro at 5 days. Early STD panel (labcorp) at 6 days (results came back all negative several days later for common bacteriall stds and hsv IgG and IgM, but antiobotics were started before test). Received 1 gram azithromicin at 6 days, followed by another gram six hours later. 250 mg rocephin shot at 7 days, followed by 3 days of Cipro.
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question. Your symptoms and their timing are pretty good for gonorrhea. The anal exposure was safe, assuming the condom didn't break (which you would have noticed). Onset of burning 24 hours after the oral exposure is a bit early, but that certainly could have transmitted gonorrhea and a "white creamy" discharge is typical. Both symtoms are too early for chlamydia or NGU.
Avatar f tn I can't believe that I found this forum. Like everyone else (it seems), my doctors know nothing about this condition and are unsure how to treat it. I've been suffering for two months and in that time I've had a mammogram, ultrasound, core biopsy, 6 rounds of antibiotics, and two abscesses drained and packed. I am very tired of this (though I know most people have suffered longer - I'm just not very patient).
Avatar m tn My urologist prescribed 2x Ceftriaxone 1 Gram IV (one every week for two weeks)for prostatitis along with 2 weeks of cipro. Is this IV treatment also effective for Gonorrhea in case I had it ?
Avatar m tn In the case of tb, for example, there are 16,000 varients of the bacteria. There are bacteria that are anaerobic and those that are not. There gram positive and gram negative. As for the side effects file a drug reaction form at the FDA site. There are many different reactions to what are similar antibiotics. For example many people tolerate Cipro, a fluoroqinalone and cannot tolerate Levaquin, a similarly structed antibiotic.
Avatar n tn That said, my anxiety definitely got the best of me and I took 1 gram of cipro yesterday and 1 gram of azithromycin this morning. What are the chances that I could have contracted anything and if so, would the medicines I have taken be effective to treat such condition(s). Also, would the medicines give me a false negative on an std test if I had contracted anything. A bit confused and need your advice as I do not want to potnetially give anything to my wife.
Avatar m tn Hi, further to my previous question about an encounter with a Thai csw I would value your advice. I asked the doctors but it seems my post was deleted and I don't know why, so I am asking here. I did urine tests and was negative for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. However there was gram positive cocci (few) present which the doctor has given me antibiotics for. Obviously given the context of all of this I am quite scared again.
Avatar m tn ve taken Zithromax (1 gram), Cipro (500mg pill), Doxy (100mg 2 pills a day for 10 days) and Nitrofur (100mg tablet, 2 pills a day for 7 days). I still have my symptoms so the doctor prescribed me another 10 days of Doxy.... what could be going on here? Could I have Herpes? I haven't had any outbreaks or open sores or anything, but none of the recommended medications are curing NGU, or the UTI?
1090984 tn?1463769850 i got it after I had the flu this summer. I was first on cipro,then bactrim then back to cipro but I got so sick on that cirpo so I stopped everything. Now I am back being treated again going on my 2nd round of bactrim DS and using some kind of pretreated wash clothes of peroxcide and something else. This is not going away! I am scared now.
Avatar n tn i went to my doctor who took a urine sample and a swab and then put me on two 250mg doses of cipro per day. the symptoms subsided in 12 hours and were almost entirely gone in 24 hrs. 3 days later he called me and said that there was some scant evidence of gonorrhea from the culture. he told me to take a double dose of the cipro that night (500mg) and prescribed a 500mg dose of azithromycin to take with it. the symptoms seem to have disappeared.
Avatar m tn I was originally treated with cipro for 5 days. Then, he gave me the 1 gram of Azithromycin just to make sure it was "dead". I got the large risk factor from the 1997 Padian article. Thanks again Dr. Handsfield. It means a lot. I feel a lot better.
Avatar f tn But did show a little bit of gram positive cocci? What is gram positive cocci? I’ve been feeling a slight numbness and warm/cold feeling in my leg could it be caused by this? The nurse said there was only a little?
Avatar m tn right after it happened I had one course of a z-pack and now I am on Cipro..both for sinus infection. Is there anyway I could have caught an STD also..I have also had a constant tingling in my penis...it is more just discomfort when urinating or ejaculating. HELP!!!
Avatar n tn probably from the diarrhea we both had in mid-july from a trip to mexico. that would explain the positive response to cipro. hopefully her other PID symptoms were either just coincidences or harmless reactions to the oral bacteria that is casing my chronic meatitis.
Avatar f tn Later that day, I started to have UTI symptoms, so I went to the clinic, and I indeed had an UTI. She put me on a 7-day treatment of Cipro. I went to the gyno the next day, July 24, because I was concerned about the scratch. By then, the yellow discharge subsided and the swelling went down. She looked at the irritated area and took a culture. She said that it looked like herpes because the area appeared to be an open ulcer. She put me on a 5-day treatment of Valtrex.
Avatar n tn In the meatal area there was a clear but not discharging secretions. I self treated with 1 gram of Cipro and 1 gram of Azithromycin, followed by 250mg per day of Azithromycin for 2 days. However, symptoms of pharyngitis & urethritis continued. I went to my doctor about a week after having taken the Azithromycin & Cipro.
