a friend of mine got a burn on his finger and cleaned a friend s house that ended up being diagnosed with MRSAa few days later..now the burn on the finger has become seriously infected and is in the hospital now also.. awaiting culture results..Also some of the skin surrounding the burn has black spotting......How likely is this that these symptoms maybe MRSA and Gangrene...
MRSA infection requires vigorous antibiotic treatment in injectable form for a proper duration. If not treated on time may cause bad blood stream infection. If there is dry gangrene , amputation may be required.
