How To Get Rid Of Staphylococcus Aureus Infection?

My husband got hospital infection, stafilacoc aureus one year ago. He had plenty antibiotics during this year nothing works. Is it possible to get rid of this infection? The most upsetting that this all happened several months after he had radiology treatment against cancer. He felt very good, but than they invited him to hospital just for check up, and the result was disaster, straight after cystoscope he felt bad and until now severe incontinence, frequency and in the beginning it was even blood in urine...

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should test for MRSA .

MRSA is methicillin resistance S. aureus. This bug is resistance to variety of antibiotics prescribed routinely.

Once you received report of sensitivity for this bug take completed treatment first to remove the infection part first.

Once the pathology is completely treated. Further management with mupirocin will clear MRSA.

After mupirocin collect the swab from nose, umbilicus, groin for further screening of MRSA.

If MRSA is still detected in swab you needs further treatment with mupirocin.

Please do not share personal care equipment with other family member as MRSA may speed to others.

Please maintain hygiene and cleanliness as it is equally effective in treatment part.

I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
