Contrary to this, the incidence of domestic cases in the Västra Götaland County was higher in 2000 than later during the study period, reflecting the aftermaths of the large outbreak in that county peaking in 1998 [10,11].
In the Stockholm and the Skåne Counties increasing incidences due to domestic outbreaks and community transmission with fairly constant incidence of imported cases were noted, while in the Västra Götaland Region (from 2001) and the other counties, the incidence was increasing more in the imported than in the domestic cases.
It was, however, reassuring, regarding the way the counties operate their MRSA situations, to see that the majority of cases infected abroad were found through screening practices and as much as a third of the domestically infected cases were found by contact-tracing.
