Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia in a children's hospital. Our ten-year experience.

Introduction: Community-acquired methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections have increased in recent years. CAMRSA necrotizing pneumonia and empyema are now more common in children.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of CA-MRSA pneumonia and its clinical and epidemiological characteristics compared to Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) pneumonia in the same population.

Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections: 10-years' experience in a children's hospital in the city of Rosario, Argentina.

Introduction: Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections are a common reason for consultation in pediatrics. Most of them present as skin and soft tissue infections; however, invasive infections have increased during the last decade.

Objectives: The main objective was to describe the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of CA-MRSA infections.

[Community onset of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in previously healthy or health care-associated children in Argentina].

Introduction: Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections (CA-MRSA) are prevalent in several countries of the world. These infections seem to differ clinically from those occurring within the health care system (HCS-MRSA).

Objective: To compare clinical characteristics of infections by CA-MRSA and HCA-MRSA in the same community.

[Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in children: multicenter trial].

Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates are increasingly frequent causes of skin and soft-tissue infections or invasive infections in many communities. Local data are scarce.

Objective: To determine the frequency, clinical features and outcome of infections caused by MRSA.
