Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] My husband had a grand mal seizure in April, 1999 and was brought to the hospital.  He was let go with them telling him is will never happen again and that he did have an ear infection.  He was given antibotics.  In July 1999 he go ostiomolitis in his right clavical and was given a pick line for 6 weeks.  In November 1999 he had another seizure.  He has had 2 surgeries on his ear drum that was blown out playing hockey during high school.  His seizures continue and so has his draining, ringing and poping in his right year for the last 13 years.  The ear doctor finally did a biopsy on the drainage that is behind his ear drum.  It is a staph infection.  Could this infection be the main cause of all his other problems?
[|AI|]  The staph infection could have caused the osteomyelitis. It's unlikely to cause the seizures, unless he's developed an infection or abscess in the brain. However, he would be having other serious problems in that case, so I don't think that's likely. If he is continuing to have seizures, he could have epilepsy. Has he had a workup for a seizure disorder? Other problems in the brain, such as scarring or damage from a blood clot, could result in seizures. The best specialist to see for the seizures is a neurologist. They can evaluate for possible underlying causes and initiate appropriate treatment for a seizure disorder. Hope this answers your query. If you have further questions, I would be happy to answer them.
