My step-son had knee surgery for a meniscus tear the Monday after Thanksgiving.  He has now had a total of 4 surgeries since then because of a staph infection that seems to keep reoccurring.  Is this typical?  What course of action should these doctors be taking to get rid of the staph infection so that it does not keep reoccurring, which results in more surgeries.  Im very concerned for him because another doctor has mentioned that if the staph infection gets into his bone, it would destroy his leg.
Hi, if the star is multiresistant organism,,,, tends to relapse n recurrence is more,,,,have to note the MIC (Minimum inhibitory concentration) of the Chat Doctor.
