Diagnosing non candida with resistant staph

[Patients39]

Oral Candida albicans with fever since early August 2013. Gram neg on first oral culture but still CA. Resistant to anti fungals, now showing no yeast on past 4, resistant staph with folliculitis/rashes/boils/bleeding in all areas of mucosal tissues/fever ongoing and dysautonomia worsening with severe adrenalin surges, bilateral kidney pain, joint swelling, spitting blood, woman's yeast infection with bleeding but no yeast on culture, water alone causes burning and the opening of boils/follicles will bleed and caused by delayed diagnosis/wrong anti fungal and infectious disease refuses to see me even with the odd culture results. No idea what to do!

Hello, and very sorry you are going through all this. I am not a doctor I am a microbiologist, but I can give you some information and try to help. So it sounds like you don't have the oral Candida albicans any more? C. albicans can be resistant to Fluconizole so oral Terbinifine is an alternative if you still have it. For oral thrush and vaginal a doctor may want to try something else. Was your Staph aureus acquired in the community or did you get it from a hospital or nursing home? The treatment can be different depending on where you got it to start with? I will assume community acquired until you tell me otherwise. For boils, and furuncles they sometimes just surgically incise or open the boil and let it drain and that is the primary way to treat it. But if you have a fever or are diabetic, or your immunity is compromised or lowered they will give you antibiotics as well. But to do this properly they have to do a culture of the boils and each area infected to see if they are resistant to antibiotics. Do you know if this is MRSA or just a Staph that is sensitive to antibiotics or did they test these yet?  You need to find out if they haven't yet. The kidney problems sounds like you either have diabetes or the infection has gone into other areas of the body. Do you have a high fever? You really need to see a doctor about this. If the one  infectious disease doctor didn't want to work with you get another one or even see your family practice doctor to start with. They can refer you. What were your culture results specifically? Both staph and yeast ? The yeast may be showing you have lowered immunity. That doctor should be able to refuse to see you. See another one. Try to keep the wounds clean and wash hands every time you touch any of the wounds. Wash towels, wash rags, sheets and pillow cases and clothing, with hot soapy water frequently. Clean handles of the water tap after touching and all surfaces that came in contact with your hands with disinfectant wipes as it is easy to spread staph. Let me know specific questions I may help you with. The main thing is getting a culture of your wounds and getting on the right antibiotics.
take care,
