Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Infections are very common in cancer patients because of low immunity.
And they are usually drug resistant infection.
So better to get done sensitivity report so that we can start appropriate, effective antibiotics.
Sensitivity report should be done for isolated e coli bacteria.
By this, we can prevent inappropriate antibiotics. This will fasten the recovery and prevent drug resistance.
So discuss about sensitivity report with his doctor and star appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
