An evidence-based algorithm to guide the use of MRSA coverage (in community acquired pneumonia) is shown above. The key is ongoing, thoughtful evaluation of data. - Staph generates lots of purulence and is generally not difficult to isolate. - MRSA coverage should be stopped within 48-72 hours unless there is some objective data that the patient has MRSA #MRSA #Coverage #Indications #Pneumonia #Algorithm #CAP #Community #Acquired #Management #Deescalate #Deescalation
