Suggest Treatment For Mrsa In Bloodstream With Diabetes
Fiance has mrsa in bloodstream. Antibiotics are unsuccessful in treatment. He s has been in hospital since May 22 and is worse and worse. I m afraid he is dying. He is only 43. He is type 2 diabetic as well. Never been ill until now. He has lost about 75_80 lbs from just my view. He is weak and has had blood transfusions. I m not sure what is happening. I m very scared.

HI
Thanks for posting your query .
MRSA is a very strong bacteria. Most of the common antibiotics will not act on it . So strong antibiotic has to be used .
Ideally a culture sensitivity of blood has to be done and antibiotic has to be used as per the culture sensitivity report.
If you can let me know what antibiotics has been used I can advise which would work as better as alternative .
