A Mysterious Infection


A Mysterious Infection
Originally uploaded by davidzentz.
Alexis Walker-Cortez, 10, lays down to rest In the middle of a 2-hour check-up less than a week after being released from a 101-day hospital stay for a rare form of a nocardia infection she mysteriously contracted last November. Her ongoing battle is far from over and doctors are running out of methods to combat the disease - which has manifested itself as an abscess in her brain - as it has developed immunities to all but one remaining antibiotic.
