Study Details

Brief summary:

The purpose of this study is to obtain information from patients diagnosed with a skin and soft tissue infection (also known as an abscess or 'boil' or 'rising') and determine whether or not MRSA is present in the child's different surface skin areas or nose. We also plan to compare how these infections look in the lab, by identifying in detail parts of the germ that caused the infection or is found on the skin/nose areas
