Suggest Treatment For Staph Infection

My brother recently had a bad case of Staph. Months later he is home to was but was taken back to hospital from feeling confused, bad tremors, lethargic, anxious, loss of strength, they keep running tests and find nothing. He had a transplant some years back so not a great immune system. He is diabetic and has high blood pressure. Any ideas?

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should get your sensitivity of staphylococcus aureus done.

Take the drugs for your mother according to report.

As your mother is transplant patient, diabetes, it is likely that your mother is low in immune system. That is the reason why S. aureus infection is set in.

I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
