RESUMEN

A multiclonal methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) outbreak with 91 infections occurred in our Veterans Affairs (VA) community living center over 46 months. Both similar and unique strains were shown by repetitive polymerase chain reaction to contribute to the outbreak, including 1 strain causing infections over a 33-month period. Most infections were soft tissue infections (67%). For 21 months after the initiation of the VA MRSA bundle, no infections were identified, and low rates of infection have been sustained an additional 4 years. The average annual rate of MRSA infection decreased by 62% (P < .001) from 0.6 per 1,000 resident days for 4 years prior to the bundle implementation to 0.09 per 1,000 resident days for 4 years after the bundle implementation.

RESUMEN

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the geriatric population presents a unique challenge to treating clinicians. It can present as preexisting disease that may have been present for years or as a de novo onset of the illness. Diagnosis and management requires a detailed knowledge of the disease, its differential diagnoses, and the therapeutic options. A number of other diseases can mimic the illness and must be thoroughly evaluated to avoid serious consequences. New agents to treat RA are available that have shown promise in clinical trials and practice. Aggressive RA treatment should not be withheld in the geriatric population just because of advanced age, rather, treatment should be individualized, especially considering comorbidities and other factors that can specifically affect a patient's quality of life. Coordination of care among geriatricians and rheumatologists is the key to achieving optimal outcome.
