We identified eight consecutive patients who presented with a skin or soft tissue infection due to MRSA. Of seven household members of these cases, three were colonized with MRSA. The mean duration of MRSA colonization in index cases was 33 days (range 14-104), while mean duration of colonization in household cases was 54 days (range 12-95). There was a borderline significant association between having a concurrent colonized household member and a longer duration of colonization (mean 44 days vs. 26 days, P=0.08).
我们发现了 8 例连续因 MRSA 引起皮肤或软组织感染的患者。在这些病例的 7 名家庭成员中,有 3 人定植了 MRSA。MRSA 定植的平均持续时间在指数病例中为 33 天(范围 14-104 天),而在家庭病例中为 54 天(范围 12-95 天)。同时存在定植的家庭接触者与定植时间延长有显著相关性(平均 44 天与 26 天,P=0.08)。
