Is Skin Infection Possible While Treating HA-MRSA?
Question: Sorry that I disturbed you !!
But I need to understand some things – and if you understand it you don’t afraid of it !!
You will remember my questions about MRSA
So if you get in hospital for treating CA MRSA skin or wound infection – and you ( me) are not in hard condition and if somehow I get HA MRSA – will it he treatable, and I wont get hard problems, severe infection
Because – those who get HA MRSA and are in bad condition develop severe HA MRSA, their immunity is low.
That’s why HA MRSA most are severe infections, because their condition is low. But those who are ok develop skin infection that are treatable.
In summary for those who are not in bad condition HA MRSA wont be in severe (hard) condition and could be treatable.
Is it so ?
Thank you

Brief Answer:
Hope I have explained things in a manner best understood by you
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Yes sir, I remember you sir, of course.
Sir the answer cannot be provided accurately as there are numerous other factors into play, but generally it should be treatable, but it may be difficult and may also take time, but as you said in majority of HA-MRSA the patient is in a bad condition, so it depends on various other influencing factors, so the answer cannot be given accurately. But if a patient with a good medical history and only currently low immunity gets HA-MRSA, he/she should be easy to treat.
For those who acquire HA-MRSA, treatment will be difficult, because the acquired HA-MRSA in the first place because their immunity is low.
Best wishes.

Thank you for your answer !
In this case im talking about healthy people who could het HA MRSA – from some open wound. For example also doctors can get infected open wound and get infection from HA MRSA. But they are no in bad health
So statistic is like that
About 30 % of HA MRSA infected get skin infection
About 70 % of HA MRSA get invasive severe infection
These 30 % who get HA MRSA and are not in bad health – get HA MRSA that is treatable.
But other who are in bad XXXXXXX and get HA MRSA get invasive infection.
So if I get to hospital of treating CA MRSA skin infection – and stay in hospital and if I m in good health and. But I need to stay and treat CA MRSA skin infection, and somehow my wound in infected with HA MRSA I wont develop invasive form of HA MRSA, because I m not in bad condition. And my immune system can fight avoid invasive HA MRSA.
Of cores I understand If I get in hospital in dad condition – after hard car accident and I m in bad condition and my wounds is infected to HA MRSA I m at high risk to develop invasive HA MRSA.
I want to understand and to care about my health.

Brief Answer:
I always like your questions sir :)
Detailed Answer:
Hi sir.
Yes, you are right even doctors get infected and in such cases if healthy individuals acquire the infection then it is mild and is usually only a skin infection.
Yes, they get HA-MRSA which is treatable. Yes, the ones with poor health or immunity can get the invasive form.
You are otherwise in good health in such a scenario, but we have to remember that you already have CA-MRSA, and acquiring HA-MRSA just complicates things, so we cannot be sure whether you will get the simple form or the invasive form. Your immune system should be able to fight the infection better than those who are in poor general health, but there are chances that the infection might be a little more than just mild.
A car accident does not determine poor general health; poor health means having chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes), or having systemic conditions (systemic lupus erythematous, etc.), or cancer, or being on chemotherapy, etc.
So you need to understand what general health and immunity is to better answer this question. I hope I have explained that in a manner best understood by you sir.
Best wishes.
