Hello, I’m sorry to hear of your situation. Unfortunately, I cannot provide medical diagnosis, lab interpretation or recommendations to anyone who is not an active patient. Please see the doctor who ordered these labs for you to answer these questions. Best wishes.
Please, see a naturopathic doctor as soon as possible, before the infection spreads.

HAVE YOU LOOKED AT FOOD SENSITIVITIES? THESE ARE DELAYED REACTIONS TO FOOD VIA IGG. THERE ARE CHINESE FORMULAS THAT ARE GOOD FOR SKIN PROBLEMS. ONE IS HEALTH CONCERNS CALLED SKIN BALANCE.
It’s a blood culture result you normally get two blood cultures done in separate sites at the same time. If both results yielded the same organism with the sensitivities as listed then you would have will be called staff aureus bacteremia. Meaning it’s in your blood. If it is in one of two that could mean that there is a contamination. I would discuss the results with the ordering provider to for further clarification and if there is a need for antibiotic treatment. Thank you for your question and I wish you well

Be well
