Abstract
The number of methicillin-resistant STaphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in the hospital setting is increasing but little is known of its prevalence in the community. In a 1986-1987 study, the prevalence in dermatology outpatient clinics was <0.9%. This study reports changes in the same facilities from 1988 through 1996.Keywords
