Historical Perspective
Mastitis was first described by Dr. G. Ranney inMichigan in a paper read before the Section of Obstetrics Medicine at Brighton meeting of the British Medical Association and in 1887 Dr. Charles J. Wright documented its treatment in the British Medical Journal.[1] From the 1930s to the 1960s an epidemic form of puerperal mastitis occurred frequently in hospital nurseries in industrialized countries.[2] During this period, hospital deliveries became more frequent, breastfeeding was not promoted, and the antibiotic era was only just beginning. The dominant role of Staphylococcal infections and transmission between nursery personnel, infants and mothers was repeatedly demonstrated. Epidemic mastitis has been regarded as a hospital acquired disease caused by highly virulent strains of penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.[2]
