Question: Multiple infections -- I've had bronchitis and upper respiratory infection for almost 5 weeks now and we can't seem to get it cleared up completely. I've been on 3 different antibiotics for it but am still coughing up thick, yellow mucous. Last week we discovered that I had a UTI. On a culture, it was growing >100,000 colonies (?) Of citrobacter. I've been on ciprofloxacin for a week to clear up that infection and have 3 days left on the antibiotics. Now just a while ago I discovered that I have an infection in a breast biopsy incision from January 27th. There was one little stitch that was sticking up and I noticed the skin was red around it. I took a pair of tweezers to see if the stitch would pull out and when I pulled on it, thick pus began rolling out. Needless to say, I'll be calling my doctor in the morning but is there something more concerning that I should be worried about here. Could there be some hidden infection somewhere that is feeding all these unrelated areas? I've started a diagnostic process with a hematologist to try and figure out why my WBC and neutrophils have been elevated for more than a year (last weeks CBC SHOWED 21,000 for WBC and 17,000 for neutrophils. Once he found the UTI, he kind of put everything on hold until I can be off all antibiotics and prednisone for 2 weeks and then he will do another CBC and if the counts are still elevated, will do a bone marrow biopsy. He also ordered a CT of abdomen and pelvis, which came back normal. Are we missing something here? In light of the pussy drainage, is there something else we should be looking at? Thanks!

the answer is no to all your questions. thank you and I look forward to any input youre able to give.
