How To Locate And Treat An Infection In The Body?
I have been hospitalized 4 times for sepsis; they can't seem to locate the infection or how to treat it, is there anything I can suggest that they might not have tried yet? I am currently on abx three times a day through a picc line, but still feel awful.
It started with Klebsiella in February.

Thank u for post your query to healthcare magic.
I understand your problem and try to solve it . First you should undergo investigaton for sepsia and that is "blood culture and sensitivity testing to microbiology lab.it will suggest you about causetive organism for sepsis and also About which antibiotic will be effective against it so that you can take correct medication.it will be better if you give your sample when you are ot on antibacterial drug.even if klebsiella is there you will know the right antibiotic to treat it.
Second you should send me detail of your clinical symptom because it will help me to locate site of infection .
Hope i have solved your query.
