A member asked:
Will i die of mrsa if it gets in my sinus and brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If the infection is treated early on and with the appropriate antibiotics your chances of dying is low. However, MRSA infections are serious infections. If in your brain then even more serious.
