PURPOSE: Clinical presentation of community associated Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) pneumonia is often indistinguishablefrom other causes of community acquired pneumonia (CAP). Theutility of previously described risk factors to identify MRSApneumonia remains unknown. We performed a ...

MRSAVRSAMultidrug resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MDRS) is a serious threat to hospitalized patients globally and now represents a challenge for public health, as community-acquired infections appear to be on the increase in both adults and children. S. aureus colonization has been shown to be a ...
Our study found up to 45% of infections with at least one resistant germ, which seems important, but we included also acquired resistance in this category. Low hemoglobin and hematocrit were independent risk factors for SSI. In a randomized controlled trial, Strobel et al. showed that ...

Investigators from Minnesota and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducted a study to estimate the prevalence of, and risk factors for, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization among household contacts of children identified with community-acquired MRSA infections...
It could be argued that in patients with community-acquired MRSA and very low risk of IE, the real duration of bacteremia is unknown, and as such, considering ordering a TTE should not be discouraged. While patients with less than one of the proposed criteria are at low risk of IE, ...
