Ebook: MRSA

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus is a bacterial infection that can become severe if not taken care of properly. MRSA can burrow deep into the body, causing potentially life-threatening infections in bones, joints, wounds, the bloodstream, heart valves, and lungs. This guidebook provides essential information on MRSA, but also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on controversies surrounding the infection, and first-person narratives by people coping with MRSA. Patients, family members, or caregivers explain the condition from their own experience. The symptoms, causes, treatments, and potential cures are explained in detail. Essential to anyone trying to learn about diseases and conditions, the alternative treatments are explored. Student researchers and readers will find this book easily accessible through its careful and conscientious editing and a thorough introduction to each essay.
