Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Hi , I don't think that there is a rule when to call someone colonized. Fiona was called colonized with staph aureus after she had it for two years. Zithromax got the official okay from the CFF only four weeks ago. So if your doc follows the CFF rules strictly he couldn't prescribe it to Josh before (at least not as a long-term prescription and that is what we are all talking about). But now you can add it to your list of questions. Peace Torsten, dad of Fiona 5wcf e-mail: torstenkrafft@... Colonized? > I am also wondering what this means.
