[|Human|] In a nutshell, had a cyst and bone spur removed from right middle finger 2/26/14. Became infected and had 2nd surgery 4/1/14. Bone culture taken; staph infection in bone present. IV antibiotic via 24 hr pump/oxacillin for 6 weeks, then 4 weeks of cephalexin; 500 mg twice a day. just at end of these 4 weeks, got infection in eye. Went to ER, determined not a stye or blocked tear duct; said cellulitis. Was put on IV bag and given gentamicin ointment. Got better for one day, but now today, eye seems to be a little worse. Could it be possible, in any way, that whatever is going on in my eye can be related to the past staph? infection?
[|AI|]  Dear patient You have got sufficient course of antibiotics for your staphylococcus infection of bone osteomyelitis. 6 weeks of intravenous antibiotics is recommended for chronic osteomyelitis. Staphylococci are very resistant organism and can lead to Infection in any part of the body including eye. So when bacteremia occurs organism Amy lodges into eye and when body immunity is decreases it leads to clinical infection.  You need to consult eye specialist asap and get yourself examined.  All the best.
