MRSA outbreak in Rauma
(Published 2012-01-11)
Hospitals bacterium MRSA has been detected at Rauma Hospital. Bacterial infection was found in one patient at a normal patient examination.
So far we have samples of about 250 people. A total of 500 people could possibly have been exposed to the bacteria. So far, nine of the tested proved to carry the infection. Since there is only one shower room each department in the hospital, all patients who were in the ward at the same time have been exposed to infection. Although the probability of becoming infected is small, must be sampled all patients who had been in the department concurrently with an MRSA carrier. You try to avoid the spread of infection to patients by staff in the office and hospital services through so-called contact isolation, and by intensified use of alcohol-based hand-washing and various kinds of protection. The epidemic and the measures which the situation leads are investigated in collaboration with the Infection Unit at Satakunta Hospital District.
