My daughter broke both bones in her leg July 4th this year. Has a rod put in it. She broke it below the knee. She has had 2 surgeries. Still in much pain when putting foot on floor still on a walker. She got a severe infection not at the site of the surgery but below her knee. The two abscesses were drained and the results of the test from the pus came back as: 1 + staphylococcus aureus Polymorphonuclear leukocytes Rare mononuclear cells What does this mean? They put her on antibiotics immediately before they got the results. She also had been on antibiotics for the entire time However she ran out called for a refill did not get it and tried to get in to see the doctor but had to wait until Wednesday. By then the infection was much worse
