Dear dr Sebastian, Thabk you veru much for the answer. In the hospital they are doing investigations and cultures but they havent isolated any bacteria since thay said it is hard to isolate and they had to give them these strong antibiotics for anycase because crp was high. I am worried now about this strong alergy reaction. Is it dangerous? It is all over the body and dermatologist has gave him today methylprednisolone infusion twice a day 40mg and antihystamine and told to stop receiving all medicines including propafen also as it is usual therapy from april this year.. He had chills and fever today and temperature around 37.6. Could it be because of allergy and how dangerous is this condition? What do you think about terapy he is receving and how long corticosteroids are allowed to be received by infusion? Thank you in advance for your answer. Kr, Tatjana

Dear dr Sebastian, how can we know if the infection is already resolved? On June 10. CRP was 4.4 and few days ago CRP was 7.4 we presumed that maybe CRP was a little bit above 4 because of allergic reaction. I am also confused how come they didn't isolate bacteria... The doctor has told me that it is difficult to isolate it from the blood. They did hemocultures but the results were negative and doctor told me that they had to include antibiotics as it is the worst case for anycase. First they thought that it was renal apsces because the cyst was blurry on ultrasound but four days latter CT showd that it is cyst simplex so they don't know the cause of infectio. My father has larged prostate (benig) so maybe there could be found the cause but they hasn't investigate it there.But I am afraid that they treated to much him with those three antibiotics ( he is in hospital 5 weeks) and that organism couldn't maybe receive anymore ( I am a pharmacist and have basic understanding). especially vancomicin which my father used to speed a little bit infusion. But confusing thing is that few days after stoping antibiotics alerrgic reaction got worse... Macules used to merge somewhere on the body especially on trunk and chest. The reaction is all over the body...They gave him diclofenac for temperature (he had 38C) and now he swets and temperature probably goes down. Could an alergic reaction be a cause of temperature? Do you consider he still might have iinfectione even though crp and sedimentation was ok yesterday? how can we know if he needs more antibiotics? i am considering to take him to another clinic. could you advice what to do as I gave you more details? Many thanks in advance. KR, Tatjana
