Treatment
Oral antibiotics: 1. Rifampin: Adult Dose: 300mg twice daily for 14 days. Pediatric Dose: \<40kg : 15mg/kg daily for 14 days divided every 12 hours. 2. Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole: Adult Dose: 320/1600 orally twice daily for 14 days. Pediatric Dose: \<40 kg : 8mg/kg trimethoprim / 40 mg/kg sulfamethoxazole twice a day for 14 days. Alternative 2) Minocycline: subjects greater or equal to 8 years unable to take TMP/SMX or whose screening MRSA is resistant to TMP/SMX are prescribed minocycline. Adult dose: 100 mg orally twice daily for 14 days Pediatric dose: \< 50 kg : 2mg/kg orally twice daily for 14 days max 200mg per day. Topical: Mupirocin: 1 gram 2% nasal ointment twice daily for 14 days. Topical: 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse: for 14 days. Environmental disinfection of high use areas
Observational
Subjects are tracked and not treated for their MRSA. If the subject reaches a protocol defined exacerbation within the first 28 days then they will be treated per choice of their primary Pulmonologist.
