[MRSA infections in obstetrical and gynecological fields].
The rate of isolation of S. aureus from the materials collected from the genital tract in gynecological and obstetrical fields is very low about 11.5%. The chances to encounter infections caused by MRSA are therefore few. The countermeasures for the important infections caused by MRSA, nosocomial infections, become more important hereafter. Greater attention to MRSA in obstetrical field, especially, in the perinatal period, such as mastitis in puerperium and infections in high risk infants is necessary.
