I have had active mrsa infection since 2007 including the symptoms all the time.had no success in treatment due to antibiotics not working & the fact that i have active eczema constantly.are there long term effects of having active mrsa this long?

Colonization: You probably have colonization with MRSA rather than an active infection. MRSA could cause a real infection if you were get a skin wound. You could also transmit MRSA to people around you.
