In the most comprehensive survey of its kind, researchers have found that as many as 1.2 million patients are infected with drug-resistant staph infections each year.
The figure is more than 10 times that of previous estimates.
The study also found that between 48,000 to 119,000 more patients may be dying of infections each year than previously estimated. The study was conducted by the Association for Processionals in Infection & Epidemiology. Judith Graham, Chicago Tribune 06/25/2007 Read Article: Chicago Tribune
