Re: cfparents- is in the hospital--Question

[Guest guest]

What you mentioned about the TB sounds familiar. Last year about this time

was in the hospital and another of our cf friends was also there.

That girl had " TB " signs but it wasn't like the TB I knew of. The doctors

figured it came from the water. They had her in isolation for the week she

was there. They were giving her an antibiotic and then had to give benadryl

because of the reddness and itching from the antibiotic. She was on

vancomycin. The doctors told us that everyone is exposed to this type of

" TB " but only some people have problems from it.

Hope this helps.
