Undiagnosed Infections
Delays in diagnosing your infection can have devastating consequences, including brain injury, permanent disability and even death.Deadly infections include bacterial meningitis, sepsis, MRSA, brain abscess, bacterial endocarditis, necrotizing fascitis and rhomboencephalitis. The key to preventing the spread of the bacterial infection is early detection and treatment with the right antibiotic medicine. In some cases, severe cases of bacterial infections, i.e., meningitis, require immediate treatment with intravenous antibiotics in the hospital setting.
In order to become an educated patient, you must know the right questions to ask your doctor. You must find out whether you have a viral infection or a bacterial infection and if you have a bacterial infection, the kind of bacteria and the antibiotic that you will receive. The complete blood count and white blood cell "differential" will provide you with valuable information as to the kind of infection you have, viral or bacterial.
The right physician for you is not a primary care doctor. Rather, you should insist upon a consultation with an infectious disease physician, whose specialty is treating infections. Don't settle for vague answers from your doctor! You need answers and early treatment can make a crucial difference with potential life-threatening infections. Insist on answers from your doctor!
