We identified eight consecutive patients who presented with a skin or soft tissue infection due to MRSA. Of seven household members of these cases, three were found to be colonized with MRSA. The mean duration of MRSA colonization among index cases was 33 days (range 14-104), while mean duration of colonization among household cases was 54 days (range 12-95). There was a borderline significant association between having a concurrent colonized household member and a longer duration of colonization (mean 44 days vs. 26 days, p=0.08).
