i would say that it means there were many different germs present at day 3 adn the culture was positive. In the end they identified staph in small numbers, that is why they are watching it. hope it helps

Well, I am not an expert, I have had a hepa with carbon filter for a while. Can't say I saw a huge difference, but 2 things are to mention: 1/ when I change the carbon filter (approx every 3 months), it has a thick layer of dust on it, so it does make air cleaner 2/ my dD has been having a...

My dd has alWays done CPT. She is 4.5 y/o and does not do nebs systematically. Our doctor's'view is that you have to do tissk/benefit analysis for every med and you have to weigh the pros and cons. CPTn however is not negociable

My dd (4 y/o) has not experienced this but I try not to give her acid foods b/c germs thrive in acid environment. Don't have any scientific proof on that but it kind of makes sense. Never mentionned it to the doctor - will probably react the same way as yours. IMHO sometimes it is just easier to...

My dd cultured staph until recently (oct 2011). We only treated it if there were symptoms or white blood cells in her cultures indicating infection, in which case it could cause damage as any other bug.

my answer is no. I have tried many different kinds, including refrigirated ones etc, no change in overall health. I think it helps when you take antibiotic and have stomach problems b/c of damaged flora, but my dd did not have any tummy problems with antibiotics. I still give her a probiotic...

Mine was 18 m/o. Also eradicated w/Tobi but showed up again a year later. Tobi again and so far so good (it's. Been a year)

I looked through this presentation but am confused somewhat: are they saying Kalydeco might work for splicing mutations as well?

Very interesting discussion. My dd is going through the same thing. Stuffy nose and nothing comes out. We went to see a specialised ENT last year before I noticed all this and he did not see anything with his lamp. Going for another round.

If the first testwas done at a acknowledged facility, I would definitely trust it. You might ask the researcher to specifically test for the two mutations and see what he comes up with.
