Question 1

daughter had uti..became  septic..brain swelled  crushed brain stem.irreversible  coma  could it have  been  mersa?

Accepted Answer

So sorry: I am sorry for your daughter's illness. Sepsis can be caused by many bacteria,  including mrsa. Cultures would identify which bacteria are causing the infection.
I wish you and your daughter well.

Question 2

is it true that having uti can cause  yeast infection and liquid coming out with bad smell?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Antibiotics used to treat UTI can predispose to secondary yeast infections vaginally, but the UTI itself does not do this.

Question 3

just done my first d dimer test after being discharged from hospital due to an bad uti and kidney stone in right kidney have a rise dimer level of 1.08ug could my infection be the reason its so high .. is my result really high or moderate?

Accepted Answer

Why the test?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, an elevated D-dimer is not diagnostic of DVT, a negative is of more value in excluding DVT.    
Wish you good health!

Question 4

niece still in coma 5 day after bs of 700 & 104temp. had bad infection. intubated /sedated, antibiot. labs now better, stopped sedation. prognosis?

Accepted Answer

Rugged circumstance!: Your niece's prognosis depends on so many things. I am guessing she is diabetic, but that her blood sugar is elevated as a consequence of infection. The ventilator is giving her system a break while antibiotics take hold. She's probably under the care of many doctors here; you may find the ICU nurses to be excellent advocates here in helping you understand what's happening. Good luck to all of you.

Question 5

37 yr old stroke victim caused by sinus infection; has been in coma for a week; lung collapsed. prognosis?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info: Prognosis is based on much more data than you can provide here. This person sounds very ill though.  Sorry. Hope for the best.

Question 6

mom got feeded through food tube.mom got lung infection and lung failure and she in coma
will it cause aspiration. will aspiration cause coma?pls hlp

Accepted Answer

Mgt discussion/ICU: If food contents get into the lung in large amounts, an infection may result. The coma may be a result of loss of oxygen to the brain, but I would discuss having an EEG performed and a brain MRI with the ICU physicians. If this has been done, schedule a time to meet with the doctor or  head nurse to discuss your mom's condition. I hope that your mom recovers.

Question 7

what could cause uti-like symptoms without an infection?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: Inflammation of the bladder lining.

Question 8

what to do if i have a really bad uti infection, when will the meds start to work?

Accepted Answer

24-48 hrs: If you are not feeling any better by 3 days, return to your doctor.

Question 9

can you tell me about bladder/uti infections so bad that its being ruining your life?

Accepted Answer

Frequent UTI's: People with recurrent and severe uti's need to be evaluated by a urologist (u) to see if they have an obstruction of their urinary outflow tract causing them. A renal ultrasound will be done. If that does not give the answer of why you have these frequent uti's, other tests will be ordered, such as an ivp. A u can give you the a diagnosis and a treatment plan to resolve your problem. Good luck.

Question 10

can a uti cause another infection or desiease like chlimydia?

Accepted Answer

No: No, UTI cannot cause the other infection; you must be exposed to chlamydia through sexual contact for it to infect you.
