Sarla----- How can you tell when his pseudomonas needs to be treated?? My prior
3 times i needed IV drugs-- I got really sick and weak, plus had severe A.D.
This time I got chills and sweats and was put on 3 different oral antibiotics
over last 2 months. I feel fairly good now, but just finished the last
antibiotics yesterday, and are waiting for culture results.
thanks for your help, Dan H.

Subj: Re: Fwd: [QUAD-L] repeat UTI infections --- Hiospital I.V. or PICC line ?
Hi
my husband has pseudomonus colonized in the suprapbic cath & the
tracheostomy .he has been treated many times in the past 2 years now we
generally dont try to treat pseudomonus unless there are defenite signs of
infection.we change the tracheostomy & suprapubic cath every 6 wks .I preffer
picc line at home rather than the hospital because chances of getting
infection are much greater at the hospital than at home Usually after the 7 to
10 days of treatment we wait a few more days then remove the picc line
permanent port might be an option for you hope this answers few of your
questions
sincerely
sarla
