Trends of Genital and Nongenital Community-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections in an Urban Pediatric Population

Abstract

Although the total number of genital infections has increased, infections among female children remain largely unchanged. Community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus genital abscesses are more likely to be the result of colonization, rather than de novo infection, than nongenital abscesses. The effectiveness of individual treatment modalities and rates of recurrence are independent of abscess location, but genital abscesses may indicate the presence of resistant organisms, colonization, or both.

“…Although the presence of mixed enteric organisms in the aspirate is suggestive of a fistula, there has been no statically significant correlation between the presence of fistula-in-ano and organisms in culture [80]. There has been a significant increase in the incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in both the hospital and community settings [84][85][86][87].…”
