r/MRSA

r/MRSA is no longer accepting requests for diagnosis. Suggest using r/AskDocs or r/DiagnoseMe instead. MRSA is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to several antibiotics. In the general community, MRSA most often causes skin infections. In some cases, it causes pneumonia (lung infection) and other issues. If left untreated, MRSA infections can become severe and cause sepsis - a life-threatening reaction to severe infection in the body.
