How: How were you exposed . Patients with MRSA should be in isolation. If you are concerned, see your GP (or Urgent Care if you don't have a GP) for an evaluation.

RELAX: If a culture grows tuberculosis it means that treatment is automatic. BUT NOTICE: in many places more than half the people are COLONIZED [carriers] of staph bacteria, including MRSA, with no symptoms. If you have no boils or other infections you need do NOTHING!
