I'm a second year medical intern and I have learned a lot from your lectures !

I'm here as a patient. I contracted scedosporium Psuedoallescia in my thumb surgical incision. It healed to a tunneling pin hole draining on and off. I begged the surgeons NP to CULTURE the thing!!! The 5 cycles of atb were ineffective so it made sense to me. I first was told it wasn't necessary but I was to take Biaxin and rifampin for 6 mos. "To completely eradicate it". Upon my second request I was told that the culture would be "watered down" due to the atb. I finally went to an unaffiliated doc who performed the culture and low and behold it was mold not bacteria. I subsequently had to undergo a surgical debridement because an MRI showed bone marrow involvement. Long story short I am taking Voriconazole and suffering its S/E. So please docs, NPs, PAs future docs . Get a culture! Im out. Good presentation.

I don't know how is that possible, but your lectures are ALWAYS connected with my current topics at the university. How did you know that I need a repetition of antifungals for my microbiology classes? ;)  Thanks for the lecture, i found it really helpful :)
