I have looked after numerous patients with mrsa.
The chances of him dying are not as high as what people are saying on here.
They need to do their research instead of believing what the media always say.
There are very strong antibiotics that can be given via a vein that will help the babe to recover.
I have looked after a lot of patients with mrsa and none of them have died from it.
The patients that usually die from mrsa usually have very complex health problems, and the mrsa is a contributary factor in the death.
Please do not worry, im sure with the correct care and treatment your cousin will recover, but it will take time.

The bad news is MRSA in Britain is at one of the highest rates in Europe and it is a very dangerous infection to those that are naturally weak, such as a baby. The good news is that is not untreatable, it's just very difficult to find which antibiotics work for you. Also the MRSA can linger for a long time but this does not mean it is automatically at its most serious so you must keep hope, just because it takes a long time does not mean an automatic bad result it is just how the disease sometimes manifests itself.
So just keep the faith, it is absolutely a very serious condition but given a lot of time and effort there is always a chance that it can be treated.

The main problem with MRSA is the hype the media has put on it. There are two very good antibiotics that they can treat the infection called vancomycin and linezolid. I have cared for many children with the MRSA bug and not one of them have died as of yet. There are many factors to consider such as how good their immune system is, have they recently had major surgery or are they in the more compromised age groups such as young children and the elderly. I truly hope your cousin gets better quickly.

The problem with any neonate (baby) being infected with MRSA is that babies do not have a fully developed immune system. Contact us at info@anubishealthcare.com and send your contact details and I'll send you some information which may help.

I think when you hear MRSA you tend to think of the worst possible things that can happen there are people who are very well and they are carriers as I know of someone who is, he is in the best place. Good Luck

that is gloomy to lose a cousin like that and that is not person-friendly for you also as you're having this rigidity positioned on you once you need to be taking section in the the emotions of being pregnant. about the call you've chosen on your toddler yet I also comprehend how the kin experience - they pick the different little lady honoured and that is straightforward adequate. Is it a possibility to grant your little toddler 3 names? Even utilising Rudi as a center call would appease the rellies. or maybe, keep Celeste as a attractiveness on your next little lady and Christen this one Rudi Jasmine Shatore' to honour your cousin yet enable everyone comprehend she will be in a position of in common words be called Jasmine. I did this with truly one of my Son's - his father wanted both his older brothers remembered, so I used one brother's call at the front, the different brother's call on the top, and the call I chosen for him develop into his 2d call. He develop into continually called through that call, no longer both of the others. i wager for the sake of kin peace, a smallish compromise may no longer damage too a lot, and see you later as she is termed through the call you chosen for her each and every thing should be superb. i imagine you'll locate that that it truly is only their way of retaining her call alive on the kin tree. Congratulations on your new toddler coming alongside and in spite of you call her, she will be in a position of be blessed.

as good a chance as anyone who contracts it, if he's strong enough and responds well to treatment I dont see why he wont make a full recovery eventually. My thoughts are with him and his family who must be going through hell right now.
