  • Title: Community-acquired disseminated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection: case report and clinical implications.
    Author: Wang CM, Chuang CH, Chiu CH.
    Journal: Ann Trop Paediatr; 2005 Mar; 25(1):53-7. PubMed ID: 15814050.
    Abstract:
    A 6-year-old girl with community-acquired disseminated infection caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is described. She had sepsis, meningo-encephalitis, pyomyositis, osteomyelitis, pericarditis and pulmonary embolisation caused by a multi-resistant strain of MRSA. Vancomycin is not routinely recommended as the first-line antimicrobial agent for suspected Staphylococcus aureus infection; however, it should be considered pending susceptibility results in patients presenting with severe sepsis in areas where the prevalence of MRSA is high.
