Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was initially described as a typical microorganism acquired in nosocomial infections. However, over recent years, community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has been a cause of skin and soft-tissue infections. Serious infections such as pneumonia and sepsis can also occur. This report describes a case of sepsis in a child that was complicated by pneumonia secondary to soft tissue lesions that were due to community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in southern Brazil. The patient was attended at the Emergency Unit with a history of injury caused by lower-limb trauma that evolved to cellulitis, pneumonia and sepsis.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌最初被描述为医院感染中获得的典型微生物。然而,近年来,社区获得性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌已成为皮肤和软组织感染的一个病因。也可发生肺炎和败血症等严重感染。本报告描述了巴西南部一名儿童因社区获得性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌导致软组织病变继发肺炎而并发败血症的病例。该患者因下肢创伤导致的损伤病史就诊于急诊科,损伤发展为蜂窝织炎、肺炎和败血症。
