Anaerobes
Hi B.
May I ask you a question about Mum. In October 1998, she had an hysterectomy operation which was sucessful, but post surgery there were complications and she was in and out of hospital a couple of times.
Over the past three years, the open wound has raised it’s ugly head where abscess together with odour from the area has been causing her alot of pain. Everytime, the GP has been prescribing her a medication called Flucloxacillin and advised her to keep the area clean regularly as the wound is between two layers of tummy fat.
Whilst this was happening, I requested her GP be referred to the hospital, but we were passed from one hospital to another or department. There was also a lot of waiting in between due to the NHS referral system, where it can take 3 months to be seen.
Two weeks ago, we were eventually seen by a Dermatologist who took a swab and the result has just come in where it says she has anearobes. It’s worrying. Have you come across this? See below screenshot.
The dermatologist also mentioned mum will also be called in for a Biopsy. I’m assuming now that they’ve found anearobes, they’ll take biopsies ASAP.
She’s been suffering a lot over the past three years due to hospital delays or GP errors.
