[quote=Anonymous]58yo dh, healthy, active, was in hosp for a few days due to appendectomy. There was a complication during anesthesia and he went hypotensive which resulted in extended intubation of four or so days. Recuperating now but was diagnosed prior to discharge with lung infection klebsiella pneumoniae. He is doing a course of oral antibiotics and they never did mention follow-up. Has anyone had experience with this type of infection? They mentioned it being hospital acquired and not transmitted via droplet. He is weak but cough isn't too bad. Has congestion in lungs but trying to move around and get some strength back. I'm concerned bc I read that kp can be quite difficult to treat. Thanks. [/quote]
