Any way to know if it is CA or HA?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #583 of 2520 |
Hi all! I got my first MRSA cellulitis 3 weeks after having a c-
section in the hospital. Then, two months later my husband had it.
Then, four months after that I was back in the hospital on IV
Vanomycin with folliculitis. I was finally referred to an Infectious
Disease doc and got clean cultures. Five months later, I had a cyst
drained and it was positive for MRSA again. So, I guess that I got it
in the hospital, but the way my infection presents sure seems more
like community acquired. Could I have gotten CA in the hospital?

Any advice or guidance is most appreciated.
