Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.
In my opinion you should complete the treatment.
Having MSSA won't make anyone susceptible to reinfection if you have completed the treatment.
I advice you should carry out culture and sensitivity again after the complete treatment if you found Staphylococcus aureus again than for the eradication purpose you again have to take the complete treatment.
I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you. Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist.
