We report the 1st case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) septic arthritis after acupuncture, with articular cartilage destruction and chronic osteomyelitis. The patient responded to arthrotomy, synovectomy, and 6 months of antibiotics. The emergence of community-associated MRSA infections would further aggravate the problem. Strict adherence to proper infection control guidelines is mandatory.
我们报告了首例针刺后耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)性脓毒性关节炎病例,伴有关节软骨破坏和慢性骨髓炎。该患者接受了关节切开术、滑膜切除术以及6个月的抗生素治疗。社区获得性MRSA感染的出现会使问题进一步恶化。严格遵守适当的感染控制指南是必不可少的。
