1. There is infection with the organism called klebsiella. 2. According to the culture report few antibiotics are sensitive which means it can work against the organism, the ones that show resistant won’t work. 3. Since it has been a month and long standing fever he might be having pneumonia. 4. My best advice is to consult a pulmonologist and get admitted in a hospital and start IV antibiotics. Also so that they can do further follow up with blood investigations, imaging and repeat culture if needed.
