A member asked:
L have staphylococcus aureus in my lunges, it has reacured five times, how do l get rid of it, ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One idea: I am going to assume you had five episodes of actual pneumonia from this organism, not just staph showing up on a sputum specimen. One idea worth checking is the possibility that you have adult / mild cystic fibrosis. It is an easy test for your physician to perform.
