| | Staph Infections |
 | | Most localized staph skin infections can be treated by washing the skin with an antibacterial cleanser, applying an antibiotic ointment prescribed by a doctor, and covering the skin with a clean dressing. | | | For most serious staph skin infections, your child's doctor may prescribe an antibiotic for your child. | | | You can help prevent your child from developing a staph infection by encouraging regular hand washing, keeping your child's skin clean with a daily bath, and keeping areas that have been cut clean or covered. |

| | Staphylococcal infections |
| | Although staph bacteria are usually harmless, when injury or a break in the skin enables the organisms to invade the body and overcome the body's natural defenses, consequences can range from minor discomfort to death. | | | This strain of staph is responsible for 10-20% of infections affecting healthy outpatients. | | | Among the therapies believed to be helpful for the person with a staph infection are yoga (to stimulate the immune system and promote relaxation), acupuncture (to draw heat away from the infection), and herbal remedies. |

| | Staphylococcus aureus (which is occasionally given the nickname golden staph) is a bacterium, frequently living on the skin or in the nose of a healthy person, that can cause illnesses ranging from minor skin infections (such as pimples, boils, and cellulitis) and abscesses, to life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis and septicemia. | | | In 1997, physicians were alarmed to encounter staph strains that resist even vancomycin, to which it had previously always been sensitive. | | | Each year some 500,000 patients in American hospitals contract a staphylococcal infection. |
