Given Lavequin After Emergency Appendectomy. Changes In MRI Of Brain. Possibility Of Gangrene In Body?
My husband had emergency appendectomy in August of 2012. It was calcified and gangrenous with pus dripping into the colic gutter which when cultured came back E.coli . He was given Lavequin for 9 days after the surgery. He is now having problems with confusion and memory with changes showing on a recent MRI of the brain. Could these problems be coming from the possibility of some gangrene still in his body?
