67 years old with MDR UTI infection

2018-07-23 02:52:07
My father is suffering from UTI.. He is infected with MDR pseudomonas aeruginosa. Doctors tried with antibiotics like - imipenem, tigicycline, morepen, colistin.. With colistin, his creatinine level increased to 3.6...so doctors stopped colistin.. After colistin administration, his urine culture did not show any growth.. However, he is still having mild fever (99-100.5)..per doctor, infection might still exist.. He is now taking oral fosfomycin twice weekly for 3 weeks. Any further option here.
