Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are extremely important nosocomial infections due to the difficulty in eradication them. We reviewed six patients who had had nosocomial infections caused by MRSA in our clinic.
Four patients had wound infections and two had MRSA enterocolitis. The cases wound infections were treated success-fully but the MRSA enterocolitis became seriously ill, with one dying due to respiratory and circulatory failure.
It is more important to prevent nosocomial infections rather than to treat them. So strict basic infection control measeres should be kept, to interrupt the transmission of MRSA within the hospital.
