Johns Hopkins current policy is 12 months Bactrim post bone marrow transplant for prophylaxis. They switched me to Dapsone because high sulfa in Bactrim caused me a rash. These are given to prevent PCP pneumonia post bmt but I know Bactrim is also frequently subscribed for mrsa, even for those who aren't immunocompromised.
