Thanks for moving the post to the correct groups.
Infection is only in the wound area, but it has spread to various areas of the leg where it started. Supposedly through the lymphatic system

Hello John, I'm not finding much "easily digestible" information on extra-pulmonary pseudomonas, but here is on recent study :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8572145/
My takeaway from it is that once acquired, it is very difficult to treat in immuno-compromised people, and repeated rounds of multiple antibiotics are often required. Do you know if she is in a hospital that does a lot of treatment of resistant infections? If not, does she have access to one?
