Answers:
MRSA can infect any place in our body!. Usually an infection of MRSA that occurs in a location that is unusual happens because the individual has a depressed immune system, although there is that rare instance when a perfectly healthy individual gets an unusual infection that there is no explanation for!.

Yes, Vancomycin can be given to a baby!. We use it on on premature babies (that only weigh a few pounds and are only a few days old) if needed!.

As long as his doctor treats the infection aggressively, his odds of recovery are good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh wow!. I would say to tell your friend to bring the baby into the hospital and let the doctors check it out!. If it hasn't been checked out by now thats child neglect!. Whoever she is should lose her rights to the child!. Your friend can get custody of the babies possibly if you go through the hospital because they will contact Child Protective Services!. It could be fatal to the child - so that baby needs medical attention asap!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
