What Could High Fever, Post MRSA Treatment Suggest?

I have a friend who contracted MRSA which went into her total knee replacement. She had the operation, cleaned it out but is now experiencing extremely high fevers (104) every afternoon. The Drs. say that the MRSA is gone, but what could be causing this latest problem.

Hello,
thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your cconcern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that it can be a relapse of infection. For MRSA to get cured you will have to admitted in the ward you have to get tested for swabs from nasal cavity, umbilicus, genital area for mrsa screen. If all of the above is negative than you can declare as mrsa free. I suspect a MRSA relapse in you.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
