A staph infection can occur anywhere in the body. If you have not seen an Opthalmologist you may even have herpes in your eye. Do not go to an Optomitrist, only an Opthalmologist, the latter is a MEDICAL DOCTOR same as a Neurosurgion, Endocrinologist and the like. An Optometrist does not have the benefit of medical school for 12 plus years. A blood test will show a staph infection is present, and the irritation or pain will show itself in the area of the body affected. So, yes, a staph infection can occur anywhere in the body. Don't wait, get to an Opthalmologist. If you do not have insurance GO TO YOUR COUNTY HOSPITAL. Good Luck, a Staph infection can be cured, herpes a virus cannot but can be treated well. lyn

∙ 16y agoAn infection may develop when bacteria enter the eye or the area around the eye. Some common infections that cause pinkeye include: * Staph infection. * Gonorrhea. * Haemophilus influenzaetype b (Hib). * Cat-scratch disease. Symptoms of bacterial pinkeye include: * Redness in the white of the eye. * Gray or yellow drainage from the eye. This drainage may cause the eyelashes to stick together. * Mild pain. * Swelling of the upper eyelid, which may make the lid appear to droop (pseudoptosis). Bacterial pinkeye may produce more drainage than viral pinkeye. Bacterial infections usually last 7 to 10 days without treatment and 2 to 4 days with treatment.

∙ 14y agoYes. I was just diagnosed with one yesterday. I thought it was strep because it was soo painful. They did the strep culture on Sunday at an urgent care facility and said they would send it in for further testing. On Tuesday afternoon they called and said I had a staph infection in my throat and they called in Amoxicillin.
