PYJAMAS THAT CAN BEAT MRSA

Apr 16 2009 Daily Recorder Silver Pyjamas fights bug
A PAIR of "miracle silver pyjamas" could be the answer to the fight against the superbug MRSA in hospitals.
The makers of the special silver pyjamas claim it is clinically proven to eliminate 99.99 per cent of more than 800 micro-organisms - including MRSA - in less than one hour of exposure.
The silver, which can also be used for nurses' uniforms and furnishings, is undergoing extensive trials in various University Hospitals, in the London area.
Consultant microbiologist Dr Paul Hillson said: "Over the next 12 months, tests will be carried out."Silver is known to be a very active and efficient agent in the fight against infection.
It is also remarkably safe."I can envisage a transformation in our hospitals to the extent that all patients will be recommended to wear pyjamas containing silver.
It will be like waving a magic wand in the fight against MRSA."Leukaemia sufferer Christian Cittron, 20, was cleared of her MRSA infection within 24 hours of donning a pair of the pyjamas at the City Hospital, Nottingham.
Christian's mum Janet said: "Within 24 hours of putting on the silver pyjamas, hospital tests concluded that her MRSA had been completely eradicated."
