An MRSA outbreak in a urology ward and its association with Nd:YAG coagulation laser treatment of the prostate
An outbreak of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) involving 88 patients in a general urology ward is described. Symptomatic bacteraemia and epididymo-orchitis occurred in 10 and 8% of patients respectively. Patients had a particularly high risk of acquiring serious MRSA infection aft...

| description | An outbreak of methicillin resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) involving 88 patients in a general urology ward is described. Symptomatic bacteraemia and epididymo-orchitis occurred in 10 and 8% of patients respectively. Patients had a particularly high risk of acquiring serious MRSA infection after endoscopic neodymium yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser treatment of the prostate. Appreciation of the mode of transmission of MRSA, a programme of continuing education for all medical and nursing staff, simple changes in ward protocol and advances in surgical laser technique contributed to the control of the outbreak. |
