My partner has been diagnosed with a proteus growth in her sputum her gp is not bothered but she has chest pain shortness of breath and a urine infect?

If it's treated...: If your partner has a urinary tract infection with proteus as well, and is being treated with an antibiotic, this may be treating Proteus in the sputum as well. Her symptoms may be consistent with pneumonia, but this can be managed with antibiotics. Asking the GP if the infection is being treated is the best plan to move forward.
