Can MY Child Attend School With MRSA?

MRSA Infection and School Attendance

A child with a MRSA skin infection can attend school, but the following conditions need to be met:

• Skin infections need to be covered, and the dressing needs to remain dry and intact. In other words, drainage should not be visible on the dressing. A soiled dressing will quickly spread MRSA bacteria to the surrounding environment.
• The individual is able to keep the dressing in place. Young children and the mentally challenged may have a longer absence from school due to the inability to keep the dressing intact.

MRSA Colonization and School Attendance

Definition

MRSA colonization is when bacteria reside on an individual, but there are no signs or evidence of infection. For details on colonization see “What Is MRSA?” / “What Is MRSA Colonization?”

Overview

MRSA colonization typically does not cause school limitations.  This is because:

• MRSA colonization is not distributed evenly over ones body.  
• Easily washed areas tend to be void of bacteria, i.e. washed hands.  
• Good hygiene will prevent the spread of MRSA. This includes regular hand washing, and keeping fingernails trimmed.
