What are the symptoms of mrsa?
Patient: I am a 25 y/o F w/ PMH of strep in 6/04 and bronchitis in 93.  On Tuesday, I was contact w/ a patient with MRSA, and then on Thurdsay (2 days later) I ended with fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, and white bumps on my tonsils.  The doctor said I had strep throat, but i was  now wondering if an MRSA cause white bumps on the back of the throat.
