Are young children more susceptible to staph infections?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not necessarily: Healthy young children are no more susceptible to staph infections than anyone else. Indeed, human immunity undergoes dips and blips throughout life, but i see no more staph infection in children than I do in adults if not more in the latter.
