Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, My doctor called and said I had citrobacter amalonaticus but didn't know anything about it......I was hospitalized in ICU for two weeks. I have lived with ankylosing spondylitus, asthma and tachycardia,for which I am at 540 of tiazac. I have lived with diarrhea for 4 weeks now, then the head was hurting,back of neck, stomach pain, then some fever added to it just lately. I also found out near the end of my stay b12 was down so I had to start taking injections and my thyroid was chaning in my tests. I have been losing strength alot that I fell bedridden. I am really not one who likes hospitals. I have lost alot of trust here in Canada, it is just the way it has become here.... THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
I understand your concern and situation. I really feel sorry for your situation. But no need to worry.Take the treatment for your problems. As far as citrobacter infection is concerned it can sometimes be seen in patients who are immunocompromized. If this bacteria is found then I suggest you to take antibiotics based on culture and sensitivity results.
Hope I answered your query. Dr Sheetal Verma
