I have an uncle in the Hosp.  They cant find out what is going on.  In March he was septic and was in ICU for a week since then he has been on antibiotics off and on and he is still getting sick.  He has rigors shakes followed by fever and just feels awfull.  CDC has recently got involved no one seems to know what is going on other than a possible bacterial infection somewhere in his body.  Any ideas?
Hi welcome to ChatDoctorI understand your concern towards your uncle.I think according to the history given by you, he might be having sepsis. That the reason he is in ICU and continuously on and off antibiotics.their are many reasons for sepsis to develop.it leads to Oran failure. As he is in ICU he will be resistant most of the antibiotics. So he should be started with strong antibiotics like 3rd generation Chat Doctor.  Meropenam etc. Thank you take care
