it's frightening the stuff we DO know, but also DON'T know. awareness can mean wonderful things, but it often scares the crap out of me to find things like this out. D:
We see so many infections from hospital stays due to poor surgical procedures. Especially in knee/hip replacement surgeries. Not only is MRSA a huge problem but these "little buggers" are even becoming immune to the aminoglycosides. We are seeing more and more VRSA infections at my hospital. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancomycin-resistant_Staphylococcus_aureus
We have some MRSA carriers on my ward. Standard precautions seem to be effective to keep it from spreading. They had some show about it in here. Another city is absoloutly hysterical about it. In there they pretty much isolate the carriers. I didnt see the show but the way people were talking about it it sounded so inhumane.
I think it's scary that they have found it in kindergardens as well.
