[|Human|] Yes , I am worried about another person in my household.  He was diagnosed with MRSA.  And we were not notified until two weeks after he came home from the hospital.  He has brown purple staining under his armpits and I am concerned that he has a blood infection.  His only symptom besides the discoloration is that he is tired.  Should we see a doctor immediately.  I am concerned about him!
[|AI|]  Hi and thanks for the query, MRSA is a specific type of bacterial infection caused by a methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. This germ poses problems because it is resistant to the commonly used antibiotics, and might cause serious complications in patients, especially if the infection spreads. I do understand it's a real fear after bee sent home, he presents with such staining under armpits. For sure, risk of spreading this infection to other folks in the home is high. I suggest high levels of hygiene, and seeking the opinion of an infectious disease specialist. Culture and sensitivity analysis to detect the appropriate antibiotic that could be used against the germ in this specific case could be the main gateway. I think you should Consult an infectiologist. Kind regards. Bain LE, MD
