Rutar T - The increasing prevalence of community MRSA colonization and infection among otherwise-healthy children is relevant to ophthalmologists. Nasal colonization rates were 9% among Tennessee children reporting for routine health maintenance visits. Staphylococcal species were the most common pathogens responsible for pediatric orbital cellulitis and sinusitis at Texas Children's Hospital between 2001 and 2005, and 73% of the S. aureus isolates were methicillin-resistant. MRSA colonization and infection should be considered even among neonates, as the prevalence of neonatal MRSA isolates is increasing. The ophthalmologist should consider the possibility of vertically-acquired community MRSA when evaluating an infant with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
