Vancomycin is effective against MRSA, unfortunately Vanco resistant strains are starting to pop up.

I was also struck by reports of sudden deaths in previously health children. These deaths happened within a couple of days of onset of symptoms and did not appear to involve secondary infections.

This is pretty scary stuff. Our school-age sons had flu shots the day after Thanksgiving, so hopefully they'll have some protection against these ugly diseases and complications. Flu is hitting their school already. I've heard quite a few reports of flu in our area of SE Pennsylvania now.

Our whole family has been zapped .my son and eldery FIL havn't came down with it yet but i suspect they will.it went through the rest of us boom boom.we have asked our MIL if she isnt better by tommorrow that she needs to see her dr. she has congestive heart failure and she is always coughing and coughing but she really sounds bad.
I have asthma and when i came down with this i thought i was going to have to go to ER it really kicked the asthma into high gear but i take strong meds for it and that has really helped.
at first i thought we were just getting colds but we all started running fevers and having the headaches and chills,yuckkky,my daughter missed a week of school and my hubby was home from work for a week also. and were still all coughing and hacking.this stuff is awful.
im concerned more for my inlaws who are not in the greatest of health and they got the flu shot ,the rest of us did not and yet they still got this flu and pretty bad.
hope everyone stays well.

If the FLU is this bad it should be treated like they are treating SARS

Maybe close the schools where it is present

So when do the kids pick up the staph, before or after they enter the hospital? If it's after, then some hospitals need to do a better job of infection control.

gee, maybe instead of paying for all the seniors to get their free viagra, we should be looking to take care of the children, for a change....../rant off/

In addition, some connected with the CDC say there may be a push to add school-age children to the list of those most strongly urged to get the flu shot -- the best protection against the virus. The current recommendation for children covers those from 6 months to 2 years and those who have certain chronic conditions

I have it from a doctor freind of the family the kids who died of complications from the flu had complications with interactions with steroids they were taking for various breathing conditions!

Remember what the media's goal is: Put you in a state of fear so that you will keep reading, watching etc. I do believe the flu virus is especially bad this year but I do believe there is some exageration in this article. I believe each story is true but you could pick up stories like this every year.
