The number of cases of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) pneumonia has increased since the late 1990s, with skin and soft tissue infections predominant among neonates. Herein, we present a rare case of CA-MRSA necrotizing pneumonia with empyema following respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in a healthy neonate. Despite prompt vancomycin treatment, the disease worsened and finally we had to perform pneumonectomy. This case highlights the possibility of emerging CA-MRSA-related invasive disease among neonates.
自 20 世纪 90 年代末以来,社区获得性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(CA-MRSA)肺炎的病例有所增加,新生儿以皮肤和软组织感染为主。在此,我们报告了一例罕见的健康新生儿在呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)感染后继发 CA-MRSA 坏死性肺炎并脓胸的病例。尽管及时使用万古霉素治疗,但病情仍恶化,最终我们不得不进行肺切除术。该病例提示了新生儿中出现与 CA-MRSA 相关的侵袭性疾病的可能性。
