Any dealt with MRSA?

Since Sakasuka isn't here to say it, I'll quote her...
"Cfers die from decreased lung function not resistance to antibiotics."
When used correctly there is very little chance that you will cause your son to be resistant to an antibiotic. Most of the time the bug determines when this happens.

Zoe (3) cultured MRSA from a bronch. She had "heavy MRSA growth", they hit it hard also, a solid month of Bactrim.

Find a doc who will treat it with this protocal. This is a serious bug and if treatment is to be successfuol it must treated early...bfore symptoms.

Think about this. Many bugs..mycobacteria, and even pseudo used to be seen as a marker for illness. In other words they knew they couldn't eradicate them, and in most cases only treated when there were symptoms. Of course, in both of these bugs, the course of treatment has changed dramatically. They now know that health is directly related to eradication of these bugs. Mark my words, that will happen with MRSA.

Take this to your doc and tell him there are many more studies that show eradicating MRSA early is the only way to treat this bug. Waiting is only risking lung damage...

<b>Successful decolonization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in paediatric patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) using a three-step protocol.</b>

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is recognized as a bacterial pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) although its clinical effects can be variable. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a three-step decolonization protocol for MRSA (Belfast CF MRSA decolonization protocol). Of the 17 paediatric patients treated during the five years of the study, eight (47%) were successfully decolonized following one five-day course of oral rifampicin and fusidic acid. The success rate increased to 12 (71%) patients after a second five-day oral treatment course in the 11 patients who remained culture positive at the end of the first treatment cycle. In a further four patients, clearance was achieved with a course of intravenous teicoplanin, increasing the decolonization rate to 16 of 17 patients (94%). <b>These results compare favourably with other published studies and show that MRSA decolonization can be successful in a high proportion of paediatric CF patients.</b>

my daughter cultured MRSA around this time last year. they hit it hard with Bactrim....nothing so they put her on Zyvox.
not a drug to take lightly. ripped up her stomach and intestines. We only made it thru 10 days of the 14 day cycle. but it seems to have done the trick. not a trace of it since and her PFTs have been much better.
