A member asked:
I keep getting mrsa, and i'm allergic to most antibiotics that treat it, what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: There are two options. 1) use antibiotics that are effective against MRSA (there are several now) and that you're not allergic to. 2) get desensitization therapy to one of the antibiotics you are allergic to. This is done in a controlled ICU setting under the direction of an intensivist and allergist.
