Is mersa related to some other disease?

It is related 2 many: When you say "mersa" i presume you are referring to how many pronounce msra. Mrsa is a resistant form of a common skin bacteria. Just having it on your skin does not mean you will get an infection. But, it can cause many different types of infection. Most commonly skin but may cause others including lung, kidney and blood.

Hospital acquired: History of surgery, hospitalization, dialysis or residence in a long-term facility, or presence of an invasive medical device such as a urinary catheter, central line, etc. are factors involved in hospital associated MRSA. Can be more severe in patients with immune compromised conditions such as patients with chemotherapy, autoimmune disease, other medications.
