Product Description
Despite the large amount of information available through books, Internet sites, and libraries, more and more people with staphylococcal and MRSA infections present to their primary care physicians offices, urgent care centers, and emergency rooms. The disease seems to continue to spread. Most people with a history of MRSA colonization get a reassuring answer when they ask about their contagiousness. The plain truth is that you are potentially contagious. In order to understand the magnitude of this epidemic and to realize how the appearance of MRSA has and will influence our lives and our culture, consider the classic handshake. The handshake will never again be the same after MRSA. The information presented in this book is intended to provide a general understanding of MRSA and Staphylococcal infections.

Dr. Chang really cares about eradicating these infections. by mathman (Jacksonville, FL USA)

5 Stars
February 12, 2009
You think your personal sanitizer is enough. Dr Chang says "Do not share towels,clothing, bar soaps..." This book is written for the layman and the doctor alike. Your general doctor does not know half of what is covered in this book. It's written in a Q&A format, easy to skip around, has two patient examples and pictures. This is a must-have for anybody concerned about infections for themselves or loved ones.
