Have A Reoccurring Infection, Lesion In Nose, Joint Pain. Positive For Bactili. Help?
I have had a reoccurong infection that no one has gotten to the bottom of.. Apart from feeling worm down and joint pain I get a lesion in my nose. Most drs just told me it was hsv. Finally I had it swabbed and it turned positive for rare gram positive bactili. Could this infection be systemic and also be leading to my joint pain and lethargy?
