Abstract

Published online January 7, 2005. http://image.thelancet.com/extras/04cmt422web.pdf Isolation of patients in single rooms or cohorts to reduce spread of MRSA in intensive-care units: prospective two centre studyMoving MRSA-positive patients into single rooms or cohorted bays does not reduce crossinfection. Because transfer and isolation of critically ill patients in single rooms carries potential risks, our findings suggest that re-evaluation of isolation policies is required in intensive-care units where MRSA is endemic, and that more effective means of preventing spread of MRSA in such settings need to be found.
