No active efforts exist at identifying cases of MRSA in Ghana. We reviewed laboratory and clinical data on cases of MRSA and identified a total of 74 cases. A significant number of cases among neonates. Most isolates were from blood and the majority were sensitive to Vancomycin. Septicaemia was the commonest clinical diagnosis. 6 deaths were recorded among cases. Our review indicates MRSA is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. We recommend the establishment of a surveillance system and guidelines for managing MRSA.}, number={1}, journal={Online Journal of Public Health Informatics}, author={Laryea, Dennis O. and Amoako, Yaw A. and Asamoah, Joyce}, year={2014}, month={Mar.} }
