  • Title: Ilio-psoas abscess caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): a rare but potentially dangerous condition in neonates.
    Author: Okada Y, Yamataka A, Ogasawara Y, Matsubara K, Watanabe T, Lane GJ, Miyano T.
    Journal: Pediatr Surg Int; 2004 Jan; 20(1):73-4. PubMed ID: 14689217.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ilio-psoas abscess (IPA) in a neonate. This case has clinical importance because this neonate had toxic shock syndrome-like exanthematous disease, known as NTED, before developing IPA. A high index of suspicion is required for IPA if a neonate presents with limb disuse and fever of unknown origin. Our case required surgical drainage, since ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle aspiration failed.
