    I had one of those cases from Mi Doctor in November - my infectious disease specialist thought it had to have come from the OR. It was a very deep infection, not from getting the incision contaminated. Pseudomonas is a water loving organism, one possibility is it was from contaminated irrigation solution.

    I finally got the ok to stop doing the wound packing & dressing changes - it closed up but it still has something brewing inside. I saw my doctor last week & she opened it back up to let drain out some horrible solid stuff. I never went on IV gentamicin, which is the only thing this bug is covered by. My doctor put me back on bactrim - it was what she prescribed before I saw the ID doctor. I hope it does the trick - she thought it helped despite the fact it doesn't cover the infection completely. I really don't want to do the gentamicin unless it is a life / death situation. It has all kinds of serious side effects possible, loss of hearing, permanent vertigo, kidney damage / failure, and also running the risk the infection could then become resistant to this med as well.

    This was something I would have liked to avoid. I did my research, etc, but if people don't speak up about problems then no one else can be forewarned.
    I really hope they have discovered the source of this & no one else has to go through this.
