    Abstract:
    The linezolid treatment for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection was sporadically reported in children. Here we describe a case of a 6 month-old patient underwent mediastinal drainage and artificial conduit removement caused by MRSA infection. After that, linezolid treatment was started and bacteremia was resolved after 14 days of treatment. At discharge, he was no febrile, his blood culture were sterile. We report a case of a patient with MRSA endocarditis treatment with linezolid.
