A doctor has provided 1 answer

MRSA: You can get MRSA from a health care setting or even from a community setting( young kids playing contact sports). In hospitalized older sick patients with poor immune system the risk of MRSA increase. If become systemic(blood, heart, lungs, joints, skin, bones) more complication can happen. Also around 1 to 2% of general population are carriers. Prevention measures a must.
