A member asked:
My husband has frequent mrsa infections.we just found out by mri of the brain that he has a cyst in his brain. could he get mrsa in that cyst?

Brain Cyst: Without knowing more about the cyst (i.e. is it congenital or is it acquired?) then, I'd say it's going to be hard to be able to accurately predict but he will need to be particularly careful since he is diabetic and this by itself is a risk factor for more easily contracted infections of ALL types and much longer healing times.
