Common Questions and Answers about Pneumonia or mrsa
pneumonia
In the rehab center, they told us she now has MRSA pneumonia. What are her chances of overcoming all of this? She is on a trach and at times seems very coherent. How much longer do we let her endure all of this? She never says she's in pain or uncomfortable. Is there a real chance of her surviving it and having a good quality of life? How do you do discontinue a trach when the patient has coherent moments? Please respond soon.
My friends daughter (43 years old and formerly extremely healthy) died suddenly and unexpectedly from what was later diagnosed as MRSA pnuemonia. She had no sores or rash, and did not know she had the disease. Her husband was later diagnosed with MRSA..and has been told by doctors he is a MRSA carrier. I have a family member who was just diagnosed with pnuemonia...who was extremely exposed to a person who formerly had MRSA, and who was bleeding onto her..her face, nose, eyes and uppper body.
if so then the drugs of choice are dependent on whether he has pneumonia or not or if it is just in the throat. Pain in the lung sounds like pneumonia but then his Xray was ok? So, I would say he should see an infectious disease specialist if he isn't getting better. Generally, for community acquired pneumonia they do tests in the lab to see what drugs the MRSA is sensitive to.
MRsa is very hard to get rid of. I had it in a large pus pocket in the back of my upper leg. it was awful and I couldn't sit down or lay on it at all. You can pick up MRSA from a hospital caused by a Sath infection. Somethime from other people. You can have it lanced by a doctor so it will drain but keep it covered and use gloves and wash your hands with a good antibactieral soap. You have to get on just the right antibiotics which may take several to get ride of the infection.
m weaning off of, I could be developing resistance to zithromax, a reaction to the 2nd pneumonia vaccine i thought I was being smart about when I got admitted last week, or MRSA
could be why I still have darker sputum. No fever chills, nausea or loss of appetite. So again, is shortness of breath the only marker for knowing that I am in trouble enough to call 911 or should I be watching for other things?
So far, I use my ventolin every 4 hrs--very unusual for me..
But why does she have cellulitis and staph pneumonia. Is her liver in such bad shape that she is having all these problems?
Without more info I can just guess that her Liver may be in bad shape. How long has she had hep c, did she ever have a liver biopsy , was she ever treated for hep c in the past.
I had mrsa 6 years ago.. If your rid of it... Id seriously doubt that it comes back...At least mine never did once i took the proper antibiotic to get rid of it.. hope this is helpful..
After years of marriage, I found my husband had been abusing drugs and having sex with anyone or thing he could before and after I married him. I wonder if family health problems could be an underlying HIV problem due to his actions. I fear he may have infected me and I, through pregnancy....my two daughters. I have nothing stating he is HIV +. Just going by his life style. He lie's about everything and know if asked he wouldn't admit it. Living in Florida, he is well protected.
I have been extremely busy, chemo again postponed due to mrsa pneumonia. I have to take three months of clindamyacin. I think this is getting ridiculous. If it is not one thing it is two. I just lost my respite care for Dustin, and am now in charge of everything related to autism. I get so tired that I dont kow if I am coming or going, and dont get much time on the computer anymore.
s towels, razors or other personal care items as MRSA can be spread this way. MRSA can be spread via sexual contact, but that is only one of many ways the disease spreads. MRSA is spread by contact with anything that has the MRSA bacteria on it.
You have a serious condition that needs treatment. If the doctor who diagnosed you is doing nothing, get a second opinion immediately or go to the ER. MRSA, if left untreated can be fatal.
For more information, call the Dept. of Health.
The bacteria must have a place to enter into the body and go into the blood stream, so it can enter through cuts, scrapes, wounds or even areas of the skin that are weak or broken. The elderly are especially susceptible to MRSA due to their thinner skin, and people with psoriasis and eczema are also at a higher risk of contracting the bacteria.
Secondly regarding surfaces.
At least it looks like a boil, pus comes out of it when it bursts. I turns really red and it is really irritating. Is this herpes or a STD? Why is it happening right after sex? Is it him or me?
In April 2008, I had my first mini sinus surgery which did not help any of my symptoms. They did find MRSA in the sinuses. In July 2008, I tested positive for asthma and was put on different inhalers (symbicort and advair), also albuterol inhaler and I have been doing albuterol nebulizers as well. I started seeing a different ENT and he did another mini sinus surgery in December 2008. This was basically done to get a culture so he could send it to the infectious disease doctor.
In older adults with already existing medical problems, a severe illness such as MRSA pneumonia can leave permanent damage. If swelling of the brain occurred, I am not entirely clear what the exact meaning of that was, but one question to try and clarify is: was there suspected anoxic injury to the brain, meaning that there is evidence, either historically or by imaging (such as CT scan or MRI of the brain) that there was a time period when the brain did not receive enough blood.
