My husband had brain surgery 4 weeks ago.  2 weeks after sugery he developed a fever.  They said it was most likely introduced at the time of surgery.  He spend 3 days in the hospital on IV antibiotics and then was released with oral zyvox, and cipro.
The area is still oozing here and there but no fever.  Hope this does it.
