my drs would not do a sputum test. apparently they felt it would be better to have me keep a bacterial respiratory infection and have it go systemic .they thought it would be better to let me go deaf and blind .they also thought it would be better to let me infect others so they could suffer the same fate .this is 3 yrs of misery.even after I grew the pathogens and showed them the agar and taught myself to gram stain and identified the pathogens and had it narrowed down to a few culprits ..finally I get a dr to do a sputum and guess what a diagnoses of one of the things I suggested to them .I had already started treatment with ozone so the infection is almost gone but I start antibiotics tomorrow.so I will take them anyways just in case.do you think it is a good idea to keep a bacterial infection in your body .how contagious is p aerguinosa and gram negative bacteria.because it seems that everyone I know now has the symptoms I have and my dog was diagnosed by his vet with a bacterial sinus infection as well .is this something the health department should be notified of.so that others can be treated and we don't keep passing it back and forth.
