What Causes A Wound Long Time To Get Healed?
I recently had a culture of a leg wound that will not heal. The pathological findings are citrobacter koseri and pseudomomous. Can you tell me what the signs and symptoms are of this bacterial infection are? For a few years I have had a red itchy leg. The wound started as a small fingernail scratch.
