Abstract:
A commercial database and personal computer were used to record relevant information on outbreaks of hospital infection associated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The data were easily stored, amended and retrieved, and there was sufficient flexibility and capacity within the data fields to allow day-to-day monitoring of the outbreak.
