Abstract

Of hand infections treated in a suburban community hospital, 65% were found to have cultures positive for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This incidence of MRSA infection is comparable to MRSA infection rates found in county hospitals and trauma center hand infection populations. MRSA should be recognized as a common primary pathogen in hand infections.
