@tamarrillo2 i had it last year as I had a UTI , A lung infection, a sinus infection and a eye infection. A sputum was tested from the lungs and a culture taken from the sinuses . Both showed Pseudomonas . My white count was up . I was put on IV of Zosyn for 14 days ..my white count came down so they took me off . Infectious Disrase Center treating me.
Now this year , last week I went to ENT Dr for update and he took a culture because he said it looked the same as last year . It came back as Pseudomonas now colonized . Ironically, two weeks ago I was bringing up green sputum for a week then it became a grey color so no doubt it’s back in my lung. I’m back under direction of Infection Disease Center for IV treatment again with a follow up with ENT Dr in 28 days for another culture . I’m very motivated to get rid of these infections as my Rheumatologist has identified several
High inflammatory markers in my blood , my bones and my lungs And will treat me with infusions of a biotic of Remicade but NOT until I am free of all infection … the Remicade suprese the immune system so that the infusion can go after the high inflammatory areas so no infection can be in the body otherwise if will spread . So I really need to get this Pseudomonas out of my system so I can start the infusions and I will feel better ! Any recommendations will help knowing right now I’m on IV Zosyn …many thanks !
