I currently work in a LTC facility where we recently found out one of our newest patients is a carrier for MRSA in her sputum. She also had multiple blisters on her hands (similar to impetigo), idiopathic lesions on her arms et would bruise easily even though she was not on an antithrombolytic. Can a person be a carrier for MRSA in one body system and then show s/sx in other body systems? Can the carrier transmit the MRSA from sputum to another patient with an uninfected open wound? Also what type of disinfection should be done in her old room? Should the privacy curtains be disinfected? Please help me out I am concerned for my aide staff et my other residents. Thank you.
