Superbug linked to flesh-eating disease

Doctors have reported an alarming number of MRSA patients being attacked by a life-threatening flesh-eating infection in the US. The patients seem to have caught a new form of the notorious "superbug" outside hospital. Several developed complications and needed lengthy stays in intensive care and reconstructive surgery.

The doctors, who identified 14 such patients during 15 months at their medical centre in Los Angeles County, California, warn in the New England Journal of Medicine that clinicians may not recognise that necrotising fasciitis, as the flesh-eating condition is properly known, can be caused by MRSA.

That could mean patients not being given the appropriate treatment - even in areas where MRSA is endemic - since such attacks are normally caused by a different bug.

Although the cases still seem only to have occurred in one place, they are the latest bad news about MRSA to emerge from the US, where infections seemingly acquired outside hospital are now a common and serious problem.

They often involve the skin, especially in children, and may mean that people need hospital treatment.

People who have been in jail (illegal immigrants), have attended gay massage parlours or been involved in close-contact sport are among those in other countries who have developed MRSA outside hospitals.

Health officials in Britain, who may just be turning the tide of infection in hospitals, are desperate to ensure that the same thing does not happen here.

MRSA, forms of the staphylococcus aureus bacterium resistant to antibiotics in the methicillin class, emerged as a problem in hospitals in the 1960s.

The bacterium exists harmlessly on the skin and in the nose of around a third of healthy people, but can cause severe life-threatening infec tion in people whose immune system is compromised. Its effect, until it gets into the bloodstream and poisons it, is often quite localised.

But necrotising fasciitis, which attacks the fatty layer of tissue beneath the skin, is normally associated with quite another family of bacteria, the streptococci, which often spread quickly.

The new cases involved people who had a history of drug injecting, previous MRSA infection, HIV or other conditions such as diabetes, hepatitis and cancer. Unusually, all the patients survived the necrotising fasciitis, which typically kills a third of those who develop it.

The authors concede too that the problem might be caused by a very local specific strain of MRSA, and that other toxic organisms might be involved.

But they conclude that there is an "emerging clinical entity" with the potential to cause rapidly progressive disease that is indistinguishable from necrotising fasciitis caused by other organisms.

"Staphylococcus aureus has been a very uncommon cause of necrotising fasciitis, but we have recently noted an alarming number of these infections caused by community associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA)."

The new MRSA has not yet been identified in this country, according to the govern ment watchdog body, the Health Protection Agency, but it is carefully monitoring all suspect cases, including patients who have not recently had surgery or been in hospital, where the bug is still more common, or who have been on antibiotics for a long time.

Angela Kearns, head of the agency's stapphylococcus reference laboratory, said that the risk of contracting MRSA in the community "remains extremely small".

She added that the agency was "unaware of any cases of necrotising fasciitis associated with C-MRSA in the UK at this time."

Disgusting! Antibiotics won't work against all these diseases. It's another form of leprosy. Our backed-up emergency rooms give antibiotics away like it's candy, to any walk-in uninsured person. It gets rid of them, with the hope they will get better and not spread whatever they have to other people.
One of the best chances we have to control illegal immigration, is to consider the health risks to millions of American citizens.

The fact that antibiotics are given out like candy is part of the problem. The body has it's own anti-bodies. However, we in America think that a trip to the doctor for some antibiotics is the answer to everything. The exact opposite is true. Any way, the diseases that the illegals are re-introducing into our country are going to kill more than them. See, we are more vunerable than they are. Take TB for instance. For the most part, it does not exist in the nation. Anyone my age and older have not been exposed to it because we all had those awfull vacine guns stuck in our arms during the Kennedy administration. We had Ellis Island to help us out with filtering of immigrants (legal). So it went away. But now, with the influx of illegal immigrants, ALIENS, who have not been vacinated the spread of the diseases that they carry is no suprise. The reason it is going to get us is because we have immune problems FROM TAKING TOO DAMN MANY ANTIBIOTICS. Then when we feel better, the rest of the pills get shelved for the NEXT time. BIG MISTAKE. I'm not an epidimiologist (i am spelling on three hours sleep), but I understand microbiology. It would be advisable that you pick up a book on it so you can protect you and your family from the onslaught of filth coming across our "border" Any way, since we have gone through so many generations of antibiotics already, NOTHING that we have will ward off MRSA. If these vermin are already carrying whatever they have and come in contact with Americans that have compromised immune systems, WE WILL BE THE ONES THAT DIE!!! In a cruel joke, by them being so filthy, some of the 1st and 2nd generation antibiotics WILL help them. They have never been given antibiotics in many Turd World countries. Their systems, while vile and disgusting, have not been over exposed to antibiotics. Make sense?
Long story short: They are going to kill us with their diseases and that's all there is to it. We will all be on IV drips of Roceftin (sic more than likely)
if there are any rooms in the hospitals for US. Or if there are any hospitals at all. WASH YOUR HANDS AT LEAST 5 TIMES A DAY and enjoy that next burrito cooked by that miscreant that is going to kill you in Baldwin Park or at the local death- in- a- box, Whatakiller, or McDeath's. Hey, DEAD IS DEAD!!!! Bon Appetite!!!! (Sleep depravation causes sarcasm).

Excellent Article Sixx!

I especially loved this line.

Really makes me want to avoid more of the restaurants now.
