MRSA Notes

MRSA is becoming more common in St. Charles Parish in Louisiana, and the media is trying to get the word out:

Four years ago, Luling pediatrician Juan Fukuda rarely saw serious skin infections caused by this bacterium. Today, the doctor says patients are coming to his office at the St. Charles Community Health Center nearly every day with serious skin infections caused by this dangerous superbug.

“Just last week, I had to send a patient to Children’s Hospital to have the infection drained,” said Fukuda. The concerned doctor said that the patient was 8-months old and had the developed the infection on his backside in the diaper area. According to the parents, the child only had the infection for two days.
