My father is a patient of Tuborculosis Meningitis, and his treatment is going fine from last 2 and a half month. But recently he is suffering from mild fever and a bacteria called staphylococcus aureus was also found in his femoral blood sample. Currently he is on anti tb drugs along with corticosteriods, antibiotic, anti convulsant drugs. Linezolid (TDS 600mg) is also started for staphylococcus bacteria but still his body temp is hovering around 100 degree Fahrenheit. Please help me, all his reports are almost normal except for some minor problems like enlarged prostate.
Hello and welcome to ChatDoctorI have read your query hope this will epitaph AUREUS bacteria is a gram positive bacteria and is a common pathogen involved in a variety of infections...NINEFOLD is an excellent antibiotic for treating staph. Even its resistant strains. You didn't mention for how long your father has been using this antibiotic. I would advise you to currently continue with these antibiotics.Meanwhile, do regular temperature charting and repeat complete BLOOD COUNTS after 7 days and discuss with your PHYSICIAN.thanks Chat Doctor.
