The ultrasound suggests a chronic sinus tract with a thick-walled collection at the previous C-section scar extending deep across the rectus muscle up to the prevesical space, with branching (ramification) and multiple external openings. This is unlikely to heal with antibiotics alone.
The pus culture has grown Staphylococcus haemolyticus, which is sensitive to Vancomycin, Teicoplanin, Daptomycin, Tigecycline and Tetracycline, while resistant to several commonly used antibiotics including oxacillin, linezolid, fluoroquinolones, cotrimoxazole and clindamycin.
The most likely diagnosis is a chronic post-operative sinus, often secondary to retained infected suture/foreign body or chronic infected granulation tissue.
Recommended management:
* Contrast-enhanced CT sinogram or MRI sinogram (if feasible) to delineate the complete sinus tract and rule out communication with deeper structures.
* Treat active infection with culture-directed antibiotics.
* Definitive treatment is complete surgical exploration with excision of the entire sinus tract and removal of any retained foreign material/non-absorbable sutures, along with drainage/debridement of infected tissue. Antibiotics alone usually result in recurrence.
* Histopathological examination of the excised tract should be sent, and atypical infections (e.g., tuberculosis) should be considered if clinically indicated or if healing is delayed.
Next Steps
Consult an experienced General Surgeon for definitive surgical management rather than repeated dressing or prolonged antibiotics.
