A member asked:
I had proteus wound infection and have had joint problems since can the infection be the cause. and will this cause any longterm problems to my health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Proteus: This is an unusual cause of wound infection, and is often a contaminant in cultures because of its ability to overgrow other bacteria. It is unlikely to be related to joint problems and you should see a doctor about the cause of these. The wound infection should not have long-term effects if it has been adequately eradicated..
