Michael 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.

  • My family nearly lost all our our lives to MRSA. The drugs failed to help us. We use Allimed, stabilized allicin and pulled ourselves out of this crisis. I hope that somehow Michael Jackson can find information regarding Allimed, stabilized allicin. I am confident it will spare him as it did our family. God bless you Michael Jackson!

  • sensationalism at its best. we've already had a fabricated story about MJ being sick, i'm not falling into this trap again. Don't believe anything that comes from "a source". Only believe what Michal says himself.

  • Tabloid journalism + hypochondria = Another Michael Jackson story. Remember when he was a talented young black musician? Anyone?

  • That's what you get for turning your self from a black man in to a white guy. Bleaching his skin and completely changing his face. Oh but wait, he only had a nose job. lol Ya, what ever.
