my wife has been dealing with chronic infections for 8 months. she has radiation enteritis and can not eat anything. so she is being fed by TPN. it is a IV catheter, with a picc line that goes directly to the heart. her line became infected in february, with positive cultures for yeast and bacteria(i cant remember the bacterial strain). it was dxed as early sepsis and she cleared in 9 days of iv antibiotics. she was moved to a skilled nurse facility to finnish her iv tx, and pt.after 2 weeks there she developed a UTI. she cleared the infection, but 1 week later her wbc was starting to rise. she got flagyl and a 2nd antibiotic, and wbc rose to 24. she went into septic shock in april and had a positive staph culture. for the next 2 months she is living in the hospital and nursing facilities. she responds to most antibiotics, but her wbc starts climbing when they are stopped. lately her urinalysis are chronically positive for yeast, bacteria, and blood. she has become ressistant to vancomycin, and is now using meropenem. we have become frustrated with drs. being in the hospital, her dr is changed every week. we get conflicting info about the seriousness of her issue. any input would be great,
