RSD PUZZLE #77
RSD and MRSA


Question:

Is there any relationship between MRSA and RSD?

Answer:

I have treated six MRSA patients among RSD and Electrical Injury patients. This disease  is due to the combination of poor immune system function secondary to neuropathic system dysfunction, inflammation, and chronic illness contributing to the above. In regards to treatments the following are the do's and don'ts.

Don'ts:

Do not let anyone operate or resect it because it causes spread and rapid deterioration making it much worse.

Do not cover the area with bandage because it will heal slower and will become infected.

Do not be hospitalized: inactivity and nosocomial (hospital germ infections) aggravate it.

Do's:

Keep the area open and dry. Nerve blocks can help , but not at the area of damage.

Soaking with warm water and Epsom salts.

I.V. Immunoglobulin

I.V. Mannitol Treatment

Move around, become active. Inactivity aggravates the infection.

Avoid long term antibiotic treatment.
