Is Infection With Cellulitis Related To Hallucinations?

Hi my sister just got out of the hospital, against doctors wishes, her leg is still infected with cellulitis and she is now having hallucinations. Shes been seeing a little girl playing, an old women and man knitting and a man hiding behind the couch. Could these two things in anyway be related?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Visual hallucination is mainly happened due to underline physical problem. Sometime, due to infection and electrolyte imbalance, patients go into delirium. May be, you sister has the same. In that case, maintaining electrolyte and infection is the best treatment. Better to take a psychiatrist opinion in her case.

Thanks
