Hi all. One of my extended family members has just been diagnosed with MRSA. Im in my second trimester of pregnancy and I am quite worried about this as I gather that some of my family members think that this person will be "cured" as soon as the antibiotic treatment has treated the acute infection. - But my understanding is it can still live on the skin and in the nose and people can still be carriers of it even after the acute infection has been treated. My family are all very 'close' in their physical contact with each other (kisses and hugs every time they see each other even with the MRSA infected person) and I just dont want this bug near me or my baby when it is born. What do I do? I cant find any medical info on the net about MRSA and pregnancy or MRSA and newborns to give them. I only know what I know about MRSA through my own training and work in the health field, but my family don't always listen to me on these things...
