What Is The Cause Of Infection?
Hi! Im a 25 years old male. I was recently treated with azitromycine (1000mg), and then 7 days of doxycycline + ciprofloxacine (1000mg) for the suspicion of chlamydia.... Now I got the test results and my doctor said I had Psedomona Putida + some other bacteria that was not yet ready from the lab.. And Im worried how I can have gotten a pseudomona infection beeing a healthy guy... Should I be afraid that I have contracted a immunocomprimising disease, like HIV or something?... Btw I work in a hospital.

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
See, you have mentioned that where these organisms are isolated from. Like from sputum, blood, urine.
Also, i would advise you to tell us all your symptoms, what you have since begining and share the report with us.
Since you work in hospital, you are at high risk of acquiring any infection , also you are susceptible for needle stick injuries and contracting, Hepatitis B, C , HIV.
So, get them tested too.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
