How is klebsiella diagnosed? I had it show up a few years ago and now I m not sure if it was a urine or stool test but the doctor never treated me for it. I have a lot if swelling(edema) and not sure if this could be a cause. I ve also had Lymes and food sensitivities and just want to be sure this isn t something to check into and who to go to especially because the dr who saw the test did nothing! Thanks for your help!

Hello, THX to contact us. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I advise you that Klebsiella pneumonia in the stool has no importance. So if the K. pneumonia bacteria is isolated from the stool it will be considered as communal flora of the Castro Intestinal Tract. But if it is isolated in urine, it is necessary to treat it. I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me, Wish you a very good health at Chat Doctor. Chat Doctor. Infectious Disease.
