Overview
Historical Perspective
Mastitis was first described by Dr G. Ranney of Michigan in a paper read before a section of Obstetrics Medicine at Brighton meeting of the British Medical association and in 1887, Dr. Charles J. Wrigt documented its treatment in the British Medical Journal.[1] From the 1930’s to the 1960’s epidemic form of puerperal mastitis occurred frequently in hospital nurseries in industrialised 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 Staph. aureus. [2]
