Does a person who has recovered from an extended 3-month bout with MRSA have a weakened immune system?
MRSA is "methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus." sometimes known as Multiple-Resistant Staphylococcus-Aureus. It's a term to describe many strain of the bacteria. It is resistant to a number of antibiotics. This bacteria lives on the surface of ALL of our skin and is usually harmless. Most people have a strong immune system and can fight off Staphylococcus auerus, but people with poor immune systems (due to a disease) cannot and therefore if the this person with the weakened immune system has a cut, open raw wound (bed sores included) they can contact this.
Straphylococcus aureus can harm those that have gone through heart or hip surgery. It can also cause oils, abscesses, impetigo, septic wounds, heart-valve problems and Toxic shock syndrome. It also can result in death. Antibiotics is the usual treatment.
If you were healthy before then chances are your immune system saved you and carries on. MRSA is mostly picked up in hospitals where the patients are ill. Some nurses or doctors that are over-worked and they aren't eating well could have a lowered immune system.
It's a good thing to take antitoxidants in vegetables, Pomegranate juice, etc., get plenty of rest and DON'T SKIP MEALS!

weakened microbes
Which vaccine type is not given usually to people whose immune system is compromised?
Live attenuated vaccines are typically not given to people with compromised immune systems because they contain weakened forms of the virus that may still cause illness in those with weakened immune responses.
What is a small dose of weakened pathogens that make you immune to disease called?
a vaccine
What consists of pathogens that have been weakened or killed but can trigger the immune system?
eons
Why do you people with aids often die of other causes?
weakened immune system
Why do people with AIDS often die of other cause?
weakened immune system
What infects and destroys T cells of the immune system?
HIV infects and destroys T cells of the immune system, leading to a weakened immune response and susceptibility to opportunistic infections.
Why are people with weakened immune systems vulnerable to toxoplasmosis?
Because they are more vulnerable to any infection.
The preparation of dead or weakened pathogens that causes the immune system to produce anitbodies?
vaccine
What is the process of injecting into the body a weakened form of germs?
This process is called vaccination. It involves introducing a weakened or inactive form of a pathogen into the body to stimulate the immune system to produce an immune response. This prepares the immune system to recognize and fight off the real pathogen if the person is exposed to it in the future.
