Common Questions and Answers about Strep infection mrsa
infection
FYI, most impetigo is caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Some by Streptococcus pyogenes (the same strep that causes strep throat). This kind of Staph causes boils, or crusty kinds of infections. If it becomes multi-drug resistant then they call it MRSA. But yours probably isn't MRSA. Where do you have it and is it on a large part of your body? Usually, you can use the triple antibiotic ointment on it and that will take it away.
The Description you gave of your Throat w/ the White Streaks, along w/ the Symptoms of Fatigue & feeling run down, as well as having a Loss of Appetite Sounds like Strep Throat or Mono, but did you have a Sore Throat or Fever at any point?? Taking Antibiotics, like Penicillin/Amoxicillin would've Helped if it was Strep, & IF it was Strep w/in 24hrs of starting Antibiotics you're no longer Confessors. I actually just learned all about Strep, bc about 1.
I've had strep before... believe me, if you had it, you wouldn't question if it were strep =) Strep usually gives you the white spots, so while it MAY be that, it's probably not. I suspect a lingering illness based on you being a smoker and recently having a sinus infection. Mucus can drip from your sinuses to your throat and cause all sorts of fun inflammation, and smoking would just irritate your throat further.
They do clean beds after each patient (at least they're supposed to). I'm not sure what the chemical is they clean with, but vinyl doesn't grow bacteria very well and the stuff they clean with is pretty strong. I wouldn't worry about picking up something nasty on your purse. MRSA is out in the general population, as is strep and any number of other nasty bacteria.
people do not generally show immunity to staph so if you are being treated for it and other members of your team continue to exhibit symptoms, there is a high chance of re-infection after treatment.
Generaly they are caused by soem type of staph or strep infection. Anything the boil comes in contact with can spread the infection and if the person with the boil has any other scratches, open skin wounds they can fester easily as well.
If the boil doesn't clear up in a few days or if you start feelig like you have the flu and runing a fever please see a doc. They have antibiotics for them and the doc can tell you how to better take care of them and stop their spread.
I cut my toe...wound culture showed no STAPH or MRSA. 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?
To answer your questions Impetigo is caused by one or two types of bacteria 90% of the time it is a Staph and the the 10% of the time it can be a Strep type of bacteria.
1. It is contagious by touching it and getting it on your clothes, sheets, towels, counter tops etc. by touching the sores and touching those areas. If you wash your hands after you touch the sores then you should okay. Except that the doctors say to not have contact with other people until the rash or spots clear.
Hello,
my boyfriend, who lives in another country, has been sick for a few weeks. It started with what seemed to be a cold or flu, but he has been getting worse. His throat has been very sore. A couple weeks ago a doctor gave him antibiotics without doing a test, the prescription was for 5 days, unfortunately he doesn't remember which antibiotic it was. His throat was still hurting and he said he could see pus, so I told him he should get tested for strep.
Hi all--this is the first time I've been on this forum, but I need some advice with a staph infection I've had for 3 weeks. I woke up with what looked like an ingrown hjair with a whitehead under my arm 4 saturdays ago--by evening my armpit was swollen. The next day i new I had a problem, I was guessing MRSA, which I had 3 years ago because of how quickly it got so swollen.
If so then the virudans strep could also be the problem and viridans strep are more resistant to antibiotics. But I would check with your doctor on this and see if the Strep group B and Viridans strep were sensitive to Levoflaxacin. If they are it may be a suitable substitute. Why do you want to stop the Ciprofloxacin or switch? Do you have another problem you want to treat in addition to the urinary tract infection and prostate or is the cipro not working?
My step sister thinks she either has strep again or has mersa. Is getting tested in the morning. How harmful can it be for me and my baby if I am around this?
Navy test did not show anything but when I paid out of pocket it was a different story. The MRSA and Strep viridian. I do not remember feeling what I have right now before they swabbed me. Is it possible that when they used the swap it caused minor irritation inside the urethra and there is some bacteria that is preventing it from healing completely? The last time I went to the doc he told me to wait two months and see if it got better.
October, November, and December, I got the infection in just my tooth holes, gums, and tongue. Negative for strep. No doctor could figure out what was wrong, so I was continually prescribed antibiotics. I went to my oral surgeon who removed my wisdom teeth, he really didn't believe me and took x-rays. He said everything looked fine. January and February I was infection free. Come March 2015, I once again had the infection, no strep.
I was kept overnight with the presence of strep and staph infection via cultures and blood. I was sent home after 2 days with a diagnosis of VRSA. I was sent home with doxycyclone and pain meds to take every 4 hours. I was told that if I don't see an improvement within 24 hours than I should be seen asap. I was seen again last night. I had a cat scan of my face. There were no abscesses noticed but small pockets of fluid.
Hello I am wondering why I am constantly being diagnosed with MRSA, 3-4 times a year I have to keep going to the doctor to get anti biotics to treat this and am really getting tired of it, can someone please help me out.
Eight days ago I woke up with an abscess on my leg in the groin area, opposite of my testicles. My wife and I promptly went to the doctor and it turned out to be a mrsa infection. The sore was drained of puss and I have been antibiotics taking them on time and will continue to take them on time until they are gone.
My question is: what should we do so that we can continue to have sex without transferring the bacteria to my wife?
I have had a MRSA infection inside of my nose, your nose is the most sensitive part, I had to see a ear, nose, thorat doctor for, mine, they actually went inside my nose to drain the sore, I was also under the care of an infectious doctor, but if were me, just because I know how nasty MRSA is, I wouldn't wait, I would go to my doctor and tell him what I was experincing.
Have they perhaps mentioned a concern for MRSA (penicillin resistant staph infection)? That would make more sense... As far as they reaction goes, I think it is more likely you have a mild thyroiditis -sort of like your thyroid getting the flu. This would cause the rate increase. The BP med is unlikely to be the culprit, but the prednisone certainly could. Also, were you running a temperature when your heart rate was up? If so, that would be a normal rate with a fever.
