Historical Perspective
From the 1930’s to the 1960’s epidemic form of puerperal mastitis occurred frequently in hospital nurseries in industrialised countries.[1] 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 Staph. aureus. [1]
