Avatar f tn She was recently advised that a culture shows that pseudomonas bacteria is the culprit this time. However, she was also advised that she is allergic to all of the antibiotics used to kill the bacteria. Any suggestions?
Avatar n tn the way to help with pseudomonas is to knock down the biofilm it creates in the gut this will strengthen your immune system dramatically and lessen your symptoms .also zinc supplements help fight pseudomonas .phage therapy is a cure for pseudomonas probably the only thing in existence that will cure chronic pseudomonas unless you can boost your immune system enough d3 supplements are very important.

Avatar f tn The area of hardness had decreased. Surprisingly, the culture came back as pseudomonas. My dr was shocked.He took me off the duricef and put me on cipro.He wants to see me back in a month and if he feels anything will repeat the ultrasound. It is still a little swollen and I can still feel an area of hardness. My questions are: Is is common for women my age to develop breast infections?
Avatar f tn My dad is 81 and has chronic pseudomonas infection in his lungs. He also has COPD. This is his 4th round of getting this infection in 3 years. He just got out of the hospital from a 5 day stay 3 weeks ago and did a 10 day pick line antibiotic. His Dr called today and he still has the infection. They are calling it a 4+ pseudomonas infection. (whatever that means). He has done every antibiotic there is (pill form, nebulizer, inhalers and pick line) for this and nothing is working anymore.
483814 tn?1214311480 18 years of age). Levofloxacin is contraindicated in persons with known hypersensitivity to levofloxacin or other quinolone antibacterials. Serious and occasionally fatal events, such as hypersensitivity and/or anaphylactic reactions and some of unknown etiology, have been reported in patients receiving therapy with quinolones, including levofloxacin.
Avatar n tn My 15 year old son has been treated with antibotics for a month now, for an ear infection. first amox. then bactrium, and final a culture was done on the drainage. He has pseudomonas in his ear and was getting the wrong treatment. He is now on cipro orally and tobramycin ear drops. Has anyone ever had this before and will the treatment work, will it go away or not and how long before the antibotics kicks in.
Avatar n tn Recently, I discovered that I have had pseudomonas aeruginosa in my lungs for 9 years. I had thought that I had had this for 2-3 years. It has caused pneumonia that has been difficult to get rid of. I have been a patient at your facility in January, 2009, but no treatment was given to get rid of my pseudomonas. I really want this to be cured and know there has to be a way to cure it, even if it is a clinical trial. I am a 56 year old female.
Avatar n tn Careful with Levofloxacin. Sometimes the side effects aren't worth the benefits. I took Levofloxacin to cure a bout of pneumonia. Sure enough, the infection cleared up, but my joints ached so bad I could not raise my arms to take a shower, put my clothes on, bend to tie my shoes, get in and out of a car quickly. Strength training and jogging was out of the question for a month.
Avatar f tn At my 1 week post OP APPOINTMENT , my ENT INFORMED ME THAT I HAD PSEUDOMONAS ( lab results confirmed with the cultures they took at the time of surgery). He started me on levequin 500mg/ once a day & a course of steroids, the next week I went back to see him and I could barely breath thru my nose, so he also prescribed me a nasal flush compound of levequin/tobermycin. I took the FULL course of levequin 14days, as well as the full course of the nasal flush.
Avatar f tn I take care of a quad male that has a trach in place. His sputum had tested positive for MRSA, pseudomonas, and trichomonas. I had no idea you could get and std in your sputum and i'm even more curious to find out how that happened. Is that really a possibility and how could he have gotten it in his sputum?
Avatar m tn I first blew my nose into my fingers and then scraped my fingers to the edge/top of the collection container (which is actually a urine sample container) and i kept doing this a few times a day for a couple of days. I have found out that pseudomonas live on our skin naturally. I believe its the aeruginosa type. Im stuck right now because I dont know if the pseudomona is actually from my nose or if it came from my fingers. Im pretty sure the staph epidemitis came from my fingers.
Avatar n tn Is 500 mg of Levofloxacin every 48 hours suppose to make a 70 year old diabetic dialysis patient drowsy, fatigued, emotionally disturbed, and delirious? Is it okay to stop the continuing dosage after seeing the affects of the first dose?
Avatar m tn Sorry, that is something I don't have experience with and not sure if it ties into Lyme disease.
Avatar m tn If Levofloxacin caused peripherial neuropathy will Cipro also if I take that as an alternate?
Avatar m tn No, levofloxacin (Levoquin®) would have no effect on ARS symptoms. All ARS symptoms are due directly to the body's immune response to HIV.
Avatar f tn I also havfe asthma. I recently was told I have pseudomonas in my lungs. I take 1200 mgs of mucinex daily and use a acapella to help vibrate the lungs. Is there anything else that I can do in treating the pseudomonas. I wake up every morning full of congestion in my chest and cough for about 2 hrs in the morning and then through out the day. It is a productive cough. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/283055'>Pseudomonas</a>.
Avatar m tn I searched info on the bacteria responsible for hot tub folliculitis. It is called pseudomonas aeruginosa which sounds very serious. It says the bacteria can be deadly. Possibly turn into sepsis or meningitis! Is it possible my son could develop anything serious from being in the water & drinking/inhaling some? 4. I read that the incubation period of pseudomonas aeruginosa is 1 - 3 days.

Avatar f tn I also tested ejaculate and they found klebsiella pneumonia so i took levofloxacin (500mg daily), and now it s 6th day i started with levofloxacin. My symptoms are still present, i also feal pain sometimes in lower abdomen, simptoms come and go during day and i cant stand it anymore. What should i do, can this be because or iritation with hand antiseptic or klebsiola or some other bactery (hidden syphilis) or even virus (herpes, hpv...
Avatar m tn I now understand that levofloxacin can cure E. I thought it had to cure C or G, which would in turn cure my E. But it seems, though I'd like someone to confirm it if you have any knowledge, that levofloxacin directly cures E. New question: Epididymitis was cured by levofloxacin in 2 days but why and what caused my E in the first place? Theory: Maybe my scrotum skin was weak during sex and it got infected during the sex process, but not by any STD.
Avatar m tn Results from stool bacteriological examination shows stingy growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The lady from Labolatory told me that it is not bad, and she suggest to use probiotics only. I have C-reactive protein is under 1.0 mg/L, WBC are in range. I have not fever. Should I stay with probiotics suplementatnion only or ask doctor for antibiotic? (He can give me prescription but I am not sure if it is really necessary).
