  • Look Inside

We investigated the systemic factors of carriers of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the conjunctival sac in 116 hospitalized patients aged 65 years or over. The series comprised 58 cases of MRSA carriers and 58 non-carriers. Signs of eye infection were absent throughout. The incidence of malignant tumor, chronic hepatitis, anemia etc was 59% in MRSA carriers and 31% in non-carriers. The incidence of long-term bedridden state, dementia and catheterization was higher in carriers than in non-carriers. Carriers of MRSA in the conjunctival sac showed a higher rate of MRSA detection in other areas than in non-carriers. The findings show that compromised elderly persons tend to be MRSA carriers in the conjunctival sac.
