Avatar m tn so I took my STD test but before I got the result I panicked thinking of gonorrhea or syphilis and took Augmentin for 3 days. Now the tests are all negative but considering the window period for some STD, should I finish taking Augmentin as a precaution to get rid of the possible infection? Thank you.

When i was on augmentin all the above symptoms went away however came back 1 or 2 days after i came off the anti biotic.
Avatar f tn i went to the the doctors and tested negative on a rapid strep test for strep throat. i also tested negative for mono through a blood test. they gave a culture to a lab for a more thorough strep test, that has not come back yet. to treat my throat they gave me augmentin (amoxicilin and clavulanate). so far i have taken one pill and i will take another in 12 hours. on my left tonsil, half of the inflamed tonsil is covered by a flap of skin.
Avatar f tn Gram-negative simply meens that the bacteria did not stain with negative dye, negative bacteria is harder to kill with antibiotics than positive. Don't worry it is a good thing. I am a nurse.
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 f tn Borrelia is neither gram negative nor gram positive, but in the past, it was mistakenly thought to be gram negaive. Some old publications out there still call it gram negative (incorrectly). Here is a good biological description. http://textbookofbacteriology.net/Lyme.html Bartonella has been known to cause skin lesions. Have you been tested at IGeneX for it? You might want to get tested for both b.henselae and b.quintana (I don't know who offers tests b.quintana.

Avatar f tn herpes wouldn't cause this much discharge. the medication you were given doesn't cause any discharge. certainly you need to return to be seen again. get properly tested for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally. also ask them to do a gram stain on it to see if it's an overgrowth of lactobacillus too if none of your infectious causes come back as +.
Avatar n tn They placed a rod in the tibia and did nothing with the fibula. Now I have a staph infection. I was put on augmentin and now the doctor says the results of the culture will not be accurate. Is there any way I can find out for sure if the infection is in the bone or has contaminated the rod? My doctor wants to do surgery to replace the rod.

Avatar m tn Gram negative diploccoci typically means gonorrhea but should be confirmed with a urine test or culture. There are other Gram neg diploccoci out there as well. It's impossible to tell who carrried the STD first unless your wife can prove she did not have any sexual encounters. However, how would you know 100% that's the truth? It's unlikely that you would carry a gonorrhea infection for that long without knowing, but it's possible. You could have been asymptematic.
