Re: klebsiella pheumenioae infection

[Guest guest]

When my son had his first episode, stopped breathing , they tested him for everything under the son. the only thing came back positive (barely, but still positive) is  Klebsiella Pneumonia. . They were  shocked, and so was I, but they did not about it. Please update me if you  find out more about this, or even TX.

ThanksP/S its been 1 year and 6 months  when this test was performed Tunde

 

Two weeks ago I gave my son a suppository without a glove (bad idea mommy) and immediately developed a severe infection in my finger. I expected it was a hangnail that had been infected with ecoli, but it worsened so I've gotten a culture on it and received results that it's ' Klebsiella Pheumenioa', an infection which only occurs in alcoholic old men and people with immune disease. Neither apply to myself so my theory is that my little boy's carrying this bizarre strain....anyone heard of it?

It's not only in alcoholic old men. It's quite common and most guts have it. It's the *amount* that is an issue and with our kids and their bad gut/immune issues, it can mess up the gut. Because you had an open wound and you put your gloveless finger where you shouldn't have (doh!), it just passed from him to you because fecal matter will carry it out. The pooper harbors all the yucky germs in the gut.Like clostridia, it doesn't cause a problem for most people and doesn't turn nasty. But in our kids, even a little bit can cause more issues than we care to think about. You'll never get rid of it completely but the goal is to have enough good bacteria in the gut to keep the bad bacteria in check.You can treat with Rx abx, and probiotics or you could try Uva Ursi (2 weeks on/2weeks off rotation - very important, long term use is toxic) and probiotics.

Klebsiella is pretty common in the ASD population. You need an antibiotic to treat it. When treating the gut as you kill off yeast bacteria moves in which is what klebsiella is.

My son and I have chronic klebsiella. I used to have it in urine tests years

ago. We have cultured it in my son's stool and also on an oral culture on

myself. Many kids with autism have this. We treat on long term antibiotics.

Thank you Tammy for addressing this to me. it sure makes more sense than any other theory they had.Tunde

 

When I was reading about ringworm and parasites last night, I saw a couple of different articles that said  seizures might be a sign of parasites.  While your son's episodes might not be seizures in the conventional sense, I'd say it's worth considering - especially since they found a postive.  You might be on to something.
