UNLABELLED: A secondary spread of an imported methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain (MRSA) to two other patients occurred within a Danish surgical ward in spite of isolation of a multitraumatized index-patient immediately after arrival from a hospital in the Mediterranean area. The two other colonized patients were later transferred to other hospitals in Denmark where it became apparent that they had developed serious infections with the MRSA strain. IN CONCLUSION: to prevent spread of imported MRSA within Danish hospitals, strict adherence to isolation procedures and a high level of general hygiene is essential not only when patients are transferred from hospitals situated in endemic areas of MRSA abroad, but also when admitted from Danish hospital wards where known cases of colonisation or infection with MRSA exist.
