I am acting as a reluctant host to an infection (probably bacterial, but possibly viral - I don't know) that has become immune to tetracycline, keflex, and a host of other antibiotics because they don't concentrate well in the infected area. I think TMP-SMZ is a new antibiotic. I'd interested in any information, especially contra-indications, you may know of.
