Condition(s) targeted: Staphylococcal Infections
Intervention: Nose swab (Procedure)

Summary
We intend to take a nasal swab from each pediatric pre-operative patient in our out-clinic
with the intention of looking for a connection between positive operative incisions and a
positive nasal swab. The patients will be in the out-patient clinic for a few hours, and
will be examined post-operatively after one week. Those with positive nasal swabs will be
advised to apply a nasal cream (Mupirocin)in their noses for one week. Our hypothesis is
that there is a correlation between positive nasal swabs and positive incision infections.
