Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
An outbreak of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus joint infections occurred at an outpatient radiology center. We identified 7 case patients; all had undergone magnetic resonance arthrograms with intra-articular joint injections. The outbreak was likely due to unsafe injection practices in preparation of contrast solution for intra-articular injection.
