Michael Jackson Suffering From MRSA Like Skin Infection

February 12, 2009
Michael Jackson Suffering From MRSA Like Skin InfectionMichael Jackson has reportedly been stuck down by a serious skin infection similar to the hospital superbug MRSA.

According to reports in The Sun the singer is currently undergoing a course of antibiotic treatment via a drip in order to rid his skin of the flesh eating disease.

He apparently contracted the ailment, a severe “staph” infection, following plastic surgery on his nose.

A source told the paper: “Michael Jackson has a severe staph infection that he contracted during work to reconstruct his nose.

“The disease is an MRSA-style infection because it is resistant to conventional antibiotics, so he has been visiting a clinic to get antibiotics via an IV drip.

“The infection has spread throughout his face and body and is being aggressively treated by doctors.

“There’s a chance it could turn into a flesh-eating disorder where it begins to kill off his skin so he’s being very carefully monitored.”

Jackson has visited a Beverley Hills clinic twice in a week about the infection and has been photographed with visibly inflamed skin on his hands and face.
