[|Human|] Looking for a Infection Disease Specialist in Durham region, ON. Thanks.I am a senior citizen, among other issues, I am suffering from recurring Cellulitis since early 2013. My GP (in Ajax, ON) referred me to AJX Hosp Emmergency, leading to a specialist in Infection Diseases. First, I started with IV for first two wks (can t tolerate because of simultaneously on both arms, started getting swollen arms). Orally, I have been using Novo-Lexin, 500mg, 4xTabs a day, each batch 7 days x 2wks. The problem will disappear, and after a short time recur.During the last visit to the Hosp/Doc, he mentioned that he has done all he could and that I should continue the treatment through my GP.I understand that if this matter is left untreated, the spreading bacterial infection may turn into a life-threatening condition...because Cellulitis may affect tissues underlying skin and spread to lymph nodes and bloodstream. I believe my situation could be MRSA carried by Bed-Bugs .I wonder if there is an ongoing research to look into the MRSA matters. If not for me, I would like to see other can benefit in this case? Many thanks, and God bless.
[|AI|]  Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. You should first investigate your staphylococcus aureus by culture and sensitivity. This will diagnose sensitivity pattern of the organisms. In case of MRSA it will be resistant to the routinely prescribe d Chat Doctor.  In such case treatment according to sensitivity pattern can cure you. Please remember that incomplete treatment can create in necessary resistant in the bacteria making the treatment more difficult. Once your cellulitis us stopped you should swab your nasal septum, groin, umbilicus for MRSA screening. If the MRSA is still detectable than you should treat it with mupirocin complete treatment with mupirocin ointment can clear MRSA from your system. Please adopt good handwashing practice. It plays half role in your treatment. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
