Bacterial infection
One of my elderly family member hospitalised due to gall bladder inflammation and was treated in icu for 5 days. After she (elderly person)returned home after 2 days )my daughter had fever and the diagnosis was bacterial infection in blood and got hospitalised for IV antibiotics. My daughter was in close contact with elderly person. Is there a possibility that daughters bacterial infection was caught from elderly person? Worried about my other kid who is 7 years. Will all kids get affected if some one else in family has bacterial infection
