| Abstract |
|
We reviewed 113 patients with Staphylococcus aureus infection and 219 strains of Staphylococcus
aureus isolated from pediatric patients of Seoul National University Hospital from Jan. 1, 1987 to
Dec. 31, 1987.
The results were as follows:
1) The proportion of MSSA was 50.2% of total Staphylococcus aureus isolated and that of MRSA
was 49.8%. Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from pus (33.8%), urine (16.9%), ear discharge (8.
2%), and blood (7.8%) etc.
2) Frequencies for specific type of infection were skin and soft tissue infection 34.4%, wound
infection 10.4%, sepsis 9.6% and pneumonia 8.8% etc. Hospital acquired infections and community
acquired infections were 43 and 82 cases respectively.
3) In MRSA infections, previous antiviotic use was a most important predisposing factor and others
were presence of surgical wound, congenital heart disease and immunocompromised host etc.
4) Antibiotic sensitivity of MSSA was 100% for vancomycin, 97% for cephalothin, 91% for
clindamycin, 80% for chloramphenicol, 68% for erythromycin and 63% for gentamicin etc. That of
MRSA was 100% for vancomycin, 62% for clindamycin, 57% for chloramphenicol, 30% for eryth-
romycin, 28% for gentamicin and 20% for cephalothin etc. |
