Can Taking Rocephin For UTI Affect The Mental Status?
Mental status change due to infection? My Mom doesn't even know who I am, and they said it is due to a UTI. MRI done to rule out stroke, all clear - no stroke. She has had 2 doses of Rocephin IV, we are at 43 hrs and no changes in her status. How long does usually last before we should expect to see imorovement in her mental status??
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate you concern, UTI some time difficult to treat the best way to treat it is culture sensitivity test, if the correct treatment given then it takes 7 days to come round still the question of her mental state would be there, you have not mentioned the age of your mother this could be dementia and may be age related, take care of your mother she will get alright soon bye.
