Absolutely, yes, you can have one without any skin signs.
He needs to see a doctor immediately.
Staph infections are fatal. I can’t tell you much else about them, my cousin died from one or complications from one, can’t remember exactly, don’t want to
This is exactly what my daughter went thru when she had meningitis. Not saying it IS meningitis, but that’s how serious this could be, get him medical help NOW!
Sweetie, I’d have no way of your brother has a Staph infection. He can’t be diagnosed online. They are not usually fatal.
To answer your first two questions, run a search and yes you can have a Staph inefction without skin involvement. It all depends on the site of the infection.
