Suggest Treatment For Klebsiella Infection In Spine.
yes Good Afternoon. My little brother has Klebsiella in his spine. He had three vertabrate hat were shaddered and they buildt a cage to hold his back together. It started to come apart in 2010 and they were going to replace it. But decided to just fix it fuse it. Now he has full blown Klebsiella he needs to have it removed and back surgery. No Drs want to do it. Told him get life in order. Are their any physicians that would do the work.
It sounds as if the surgeon considers either the infection or the surgery complex with a very high risk of either worsening of the Klebsiella or for some other reason worsening of your brother's status by trying to remove the cage or the previously fused vertebrae.
You may try to contact an ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER in your area if you haven't already since many times they have superior technology or a wider knowledge base because of research that can handle tougher more complex cases than community-based physicians.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
