I'm not sure on what's the most effective way to sanitize clothes for decolonisation. Can I soak them in dettol? Or maybe wash with chlorhexidine?
I recently had a portacath removed due to a klebsiella pneumonia and pseudomonas infection. Tried cefepime through a picc and midline with no luck. Vancomycin caused red man syndrome. Fluoroquinolones are contraindicated for me due to ehlers danlos. They had kept my surgical wound open and it’s finally sealed after almost 4 months now. I had cultures taken last week and then had a follow up with infectious disease specialist and was immediately sent to the hospital as I now have MRSA. They did an echo of my heart to make sure it hasn’t reached there but I haven’t gotten results yet. All I know so far is i will be on antibiotics for 4 weeks.
Why is this so painful? I feel like every inch of my body has been repeatedly stomped on or like I was in a car accident. My legs hurt so bad
