Mycobacterium Chelonae 2nd Try?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hey folks, my previous post was closed, but unjustly I think. I am NOT the one with Mycobacterium Chelonae infection, nor is it a family member. The patient's infection is being treated with IVABX and PO ABX. Anyone have experience treating and/or caring for someone dx with this? I'm interested in outcomes. Infection is localized currently. I have no previous experience with this bacteria. I am being vague to protect patient. Moderators, if this does not suit, please feel free to edit, thanks.
