Depends on problem: Mrsa is an infection but can be anywhere in body. Not sure if you have internal MRSA right? If in the lung then a staph infection. Mostly with structural lung disease or immune issues(comorbidities). On oxygen because of pneumonia? Need to eval her lung function and reason why on o2. Many reasons for this cardiac /vascular/anemia etc. Need more information. Keep md appointment.
