Dear ,

I cant answer your medical question, BUT do want to offer my best wishes for

you to be better very quickly. Those D---- infections scare me too.. best to

just be as careful as always ......but even more so. Hopefully the meds will

take over & away the bug will go !! This too shall pass.

staph. infection advice

As I mentioned before I had stomach surgery a few weeks ago. I had a

wound infection last week and took antibiotics. They rang me today and

said the swab showed staphylococcus aureus(sp?). I am on antibiotics

for it now. What I am worried about is of course giving it to Eilish.

The dr. said it doesn't affect the lungs like PA, but I don't trust

dr's. and their limited Cf knowledge. Do any of you know anything about

this bug?

For some strange reason, I had a recurrent staph infection that

showed up in (of all places), my armpit. It created big lumps that

were painful. I was put in Kephlex and it went away. My son never

cought it and my doctor wasn't concerned about that happening

either. But I did wash my hands a lot more.

My son is 9 with CF. His lungs are colonized with multiple

organisms including two of the bad boys- pseudomonas and mrsa

(methicillin resistant staph aureus)

The PA is bad but this MRSA is worse. when its active it freaks out

the hospital and they isolate him- (IF he is in the hospital). Find

out what your culture and sensitivity report states. See if it is

methicillin resistant staph.

good luck, I hope all goes well.
