A member asked:
Can vancomycin or linezolid help beat pneumonia that's lasted more than a year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: if caused by MRSA. Uncommon though to have suffered from pneumonia only for so long. I wonder if you have another co morbid or predisposing condition or maybe you got here through complications from a community acquired pneumonia.
