What Is The Cause And Treatment Of Achromobacter Infection ?
I had a stool sample analysis come back with findings of Achromobacter infection. My doctor treated it with 10 days of Ampicillan. I am seeking information as to how I became infected, and symptoms of the disease. I have GERD and very thick spetum that causes me to cough and choke all day long but worse at night. I am concerned that the diagnosis is incomplete but don t know what type of specialist I need to consult with for answers.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The gastrointestinal infection you had can best be treated with the help of your gastroenterologist. Most of such infections spread due to maintenance of poor hygiene. The patient usually has loose stools to present with.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
