if your 16

it depends. When and how contracted?, where is the infection?, how deep?, how long without treatment?, resistant to vancomycin? early stage, close to sepsis?
"Staphylococcus aureus (Staf-lo-coc-cus aw-ree-us ( staph) is a germ that often lives in the noses and on the skin of healthy people and spreads from person to person on contaminated hands, skin, and objects.
Most infections caused by staph are skin infections, but staph can also cause more serious infections such as blood and joint infections, and pneumonia. "

yes you can you can become septic and die.

It can be deadly if we didnt diagnose it early. Well the patient will die IF compication occurs.

Yes...they say 19,000 people have died from it. in 2005. How long does it take? Depends on the age and severity of the infection.

You can if it's not treated in a timely fashion.

Absolutely, I knew someone that did. It was in his lungs. He lived quite a while with it. If you have it, seek medical help soon.

I had this in my Cervix when I was pregant. Yes you can die from it if it becomes infected - as it can cause blood poisoning. You should be on anti-biotics for it if you have these. They are not normal anti-biotics but a different kind that works on these sorts of infections.
I took them for 2weeks, but some people may need longer on them.
