" Jackos,

This is a very serious situation here..MRSA is a terrible superbug and and being in an infant who has not developed an inmmune system it is an issuse to be taken quite seriously.

My name is Alvi and am 48yr old and fighting for my life with it at the moment..The bad part is in the beginning I was treated with numerous antibiotics with out a culture being grown..


I can not stress enough the improtance of making sure you he has a culture done and have it explained to them..

Here is an example of what a culture looks like if you would like to see it..It explains itself.

I sure hope this helps..It is a very serious situation that will not just go away..God Bless Him and the Family. "
