Purpose: This study aimed to describe the etiology, clinical features, hospital course, and outcomes of hospitalized children with skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) and to test if clinical and laboratory variables at admission could differentiate between community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) and community-acquired methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (CA-MSSA). Methods: We reviewed the clinical, laboratory, treatment, and outcome data for children hospitalized with SSTIs, aged 0–18 years at MacKay Children's Hospital between 2010 and 2019. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of CA-MRSA and CA-MSSA SSTIs. Results: A total of 1631 patients were enrolled. Erysipelas/cellulitis (73.8%) was the most common pediatric SSTI type, followed by acute lymphadenitis (13.6%) and abscess/furuncle/carbuncle (8.6%). Among the 639 culture-positive isolates (purulent SSTIs), 142 (22.2%) were CA-MSSA and 363 (56.8%) were CA-MRSA. The age group 0–1 month (OR, 6.52; 95% CI 1.09–38.92; P = 0.04) and local lymph node reaction (OR, 2.47; 95% CI 1.004–6.08; P = 0.049) were independent factors for differentiating children with CA-MSSA from those with CA-MRSA SSTIs. MRSA isolates in our cohort were highly susceptible to glycopeptides (100%), linezolid (100%), daptomycin (100%), and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (98.6%) but were significantly less susceptible to clindamycin compared with MSSA (34.2% vs. 78.2%, P |
