Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 hi,is it normal to be able to smell a pseudamonas infection of the sinuses from a distance? my 16 yr. old son ,jason, has had chronic sinusitis with several surgeries for the past 3 years. a week ago i noticed a very distinct smell everytime he walked by me. several days ago i investigated and found the smell to be coming from his nose. he admitted that his head had been hurting pretty bad and that his sinuses were sensitive to touch. i called the cf dr.-- they said time for a new surgery/ and that the pseudamonas was bad for me to be able to smell it. we have known that he had mrsa, but was unaware of any pseudomonas excect for a growth about 6 yr ago and no more has been said about it. any insight would be greatly appreciated. dani- mom of jason16-wcf/samie17wocf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
