A member asked:
Can someone recover from a pulmonary hemorrhage with staph infection?currently hooked up to breathing tube to help him breath. any hope in recovering
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: This is a very serious condition, but recovery is possible. Prognosis is largely dependent on health prior to succumbing to infection and, of course, response to antibiotic treatment and the ability to provide ventilation/resolve hemorrhage.
