DIAGNOSIS
Your physician or nurse will start by asking you about your health record. They will inquire about your concerns and any previous health issues. In addition, you will be asked to have a physical examination as well.
Your doctor will almost certainly prescribe specific testing for Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). Your signs and exam determine these. They can include:
- Antibiotic susceptibility testing
- Urine, sputum, blood, and other bodily fluid cultures
- Urine testing to find a urinary infection
- Chest X-ray to see if you have a respiratory infection.
- Additional imaging tests, if necessary.
- A complete blood count (CBC), to discover disease and anemia.
TREATMENT
Your overall health, age, and symptoms will determine the medication you get for Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). It will also depend on the severity of the condition. Your therapy could consist of the following:
Assessing critical markers, including heart rate and fever-reducing medications
- Treatment of any additional medical issues you may have.
- Dietary assistance
- If necessary, a breathing machine (ventilator)
- intravenous fluids
- Other antibiotic therapy
Washing hands is the most critical strategy to avoid the transmission of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and other antibacterial drug diseases. Hands should be washed frequently with water, soap, or an alcohol-based sanitizer. Ensure that everyone caring for you cleanses their hands regularly. Maintaining healthy behaviors, including eating nutritious food and getting adequate sleep and exercise, may help lower your risk of sickness.
