Context.-Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in children have occurred primarily in individuals with recognized predisposing risks. Community-acquired MRSA infections in the absence of identified risk factors have been reported infrequently.Objectives.-To determine whether community-acquired MRSA infections in children with no identified predisposing risks are increasing and to define the spectrum of disease associated with MRSA isolation.Design.-Retrospective review of medical records.Patients.-Hospitalized children with S aureus isolated between August 1988 and July 1990 (1988-1990) and between August 1993 and July 1995 (1993-1995).Setting.-The University of Chicago Children's Hospital.Main Outcome Measures.-Prevalence of community-acquired MRSA over time, infecting vs colonizing isolates, and risk factors for disease.Results.-The number of children hospitalized with community-acquired MRSA disease increased from 8 in 1988-1990 to 35 in 1993-1995. Moreover, the prevalence of community-acquired MRSA without identified risk increased from 10 per 100 000 admissions in 1988-1990 to 259 per 100 000 admissions in 1993-1995 (P
