MRSA infections are now known to be a common and important problem in amateur and professional athletes. Through long-standing close personal and professional relationships with the Director of Sports Medicine at Duke University Medical Center and the Duke Football Team Head Trainer, we have gained extensive experience in the diagnosis, management and prevention of MRSA infections in Duke University athletes.
