We report an 8-year-old boy who developed high fever and low-back pain. He was diagnosed as having a paravertebral abscess with severe disseminated Staphylococcus aureus infection. He received intravenous antibiotics and drainage of the abscess. Afterwards, he developed thrombosis, endocarditis and empyema thoracis. He received further intravenous antibiotics and proper drainages for his conditions. He eventually recovered well. This case highlights the need for rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment of severe S aureus infection to prevent serious complications.
我们报告一名8岁男孩,他出现高热和腰痛。他被诊断为患有椎旁脓肿并伴有严重的播散性金黄色葡萄球菌感染。他接受了静脉抗生素治疗和脓肿引流。之后,他出现了血栓形成、心内膜炎和脓胸。针对他的病情,他又接受了进一步的静脉抗生素治疗和适当的引流。他最终恢复良好。该病例凸显了对严重金黄色葡萄球菌感染进行快速诊断和适当治疗以预防严重并发症的必要性。
