MRSA and
Pandemic Flu
 MRSA
– Methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (Mursa)
– Feeds on open wounds, invasive
devices, and weakened immune
systems.
– A 2007 report by Center for
Disease Control and Prevention
estimated that the number of
MRSA infections treated in
hospitals doubled nationwide,
from approximately 127,00 in
1999 to 278,000 in 2005.
 Pandemic Flu
– Is an epidemic of the influenza
virus that spreads on a
worldwide scale and infects a
large proportion of the human
population.
– The World Health
Organization (WHO) warns
that there is a substantial risk
of an Pandemic Flu within the
next few years.
– Pandemic Flu is an infectious
disease of birds and mammals
caused by an RNA virus of the
family Orthomyxovidridae (the
influenza viruses).
MRSA
 MRSA has been responsible for 94,360 serious infections and associated with
18,650 hospital stay related deaths in the United States in 2005 alone.
 According to the figures above, MRSA infections are responsible for more
deaths in the United States each year than AIDS.
 Statistics suggest that a national epidemic might be growing out of control, but
it is difficult to quantify the degree of morbidity and mortality attributable to
MRSA.
 Symptoms of MRSA are:
–
–
–
–
Generally start as small red bumps that resemble pimples, boils or spider bites.
These can quickly turn into deep, painful abscesses that require surgical draining.
Sometimes the bacteria remain confined to the skin.
But they can also burrow deep into the body, causing potentially life threatening
infections in bones, joints, surgical wounds, the bloodstream, heart valves and
lungs.
Pandemic Flu
 Typically, influenza is transmitted from infected mammals through the air by


coughs or sneezes, creating aerosols containing the virus, and from infected
birds through their droppings.
Influenza can also be transmitted by saliva, nasal secretions, feces and blood.
This virus can remain infectious for about one week at human body
temperature, over 30 days at 0 degrees celsius, and indefinitely at very low
temperatures.
In 1918 the Pandemic Flu killed around 150,000 people.
Symptoms of Pandemic Flu are:
– Fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, and weakness,
vomiting and nausea, often confused with the common flue or “24 hour flu”.
