Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has recently become a significant pathogen in ocular and systemic disease. Both community- and nosocomial-acquired MRSA orbital cellulitis have been reported in adults. However, there exist only very few published case reports of pediatric MRSA orbital cellulitis, and it is unclear whether these infections were hospital or community acquired and if these children were immunocompromised. We report the first documented case of orbital cellulitis secondary to community-acquired MRSA in a non-immunocompromised child.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）最近已成为引起眼部和全身性疾病的重要病原体。成人社区获得性和医院获得性MRSA眼眶蜂窝织炎均有报道。然而，关于儿童MRSA眼眶蜂窝织炎的已发表病例报告极少，尚不清楚这些感染是医院获得性还是社区获得性，以及这些儿童是否免疫功能低下。我们报告了首例有记录的非免疫功能低下儿童因社区获得性MRSA继发眼眶蜂窝织炎的病例。
