Postdischarge surveillance to identify subsequent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in colonized children.

Sonali Advani1, Arnab Sengupta, Aaron M Milstone.   

Abstract

Some hospitals screen and identify high risk patients for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization. We performed postdischarge surveillance, including a telephone survey, and estimated a 9.5% incidence of infection in MRSA-colonized children in the year following discharge. Interventions are needed to reduce MRSA infections in colonized children after hospital discharge.
