each case is different.
in our case, after culturing MRSA the first time and successfully treating her exacerbation, her PFTs etc. have never been better.
so we treat symptomatically.

this is not true for everyone. each case must be evaluated individually and you must trust your medical team.

ask your doctor about his position and listen to his rationale. if you do not agree or are not comfortable, perhaps a second (or third) opinion is in order?

You would think they would treat it aggressively in a 7 month old baby?? I really don't have any knowledge of this, but that is what they would do for Psuedos...so seems like a no brainer for MRSA. Seems like you would want to try to get rid of it right away if possible. I would push to have it treated...
Also, don't blame yourself. Sounds like you are taking all precautions possible to keep him safe. He could have gotten it from clinic, who knows. Be very careful when you go to clinic. There could be germs ANYWHERE there! You are doing a good job, keep it up!
Also as suggested, listen to the docs point of view of why he does not want to treat it. If you don't agree with him, I would def get another opinion. This is YOUR child, not his!
Good luck!

Unlike PA, culturing MRSA has not been deemed a symptom of cf or a measure of decline. Whether it leads to decline or not is another story and at recent cf conferences doctors have been agreeing that it does cause a decline. The reason it is not necessarily a cf symptom is because MRSA is heavily carried in the general population with little to no symptoms...mostly in the nose but then again who gets sputum cultures or throat cultures unless they are symptomatic except cfers, etc.
