Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is increasing in prevalence among asymptomatic carriers and in cases of paediatric soft-tissue infections alike. CA-MRSA may express virulence factors such as Panton-Valentine leukocidin, which makes soft-tissue and hard-tissue infections due to such organisms challenging to treat. We report a case of osteomyelitis of the proximal tibia in a 10-year-old boy and discuss its management in what is to the authors' knowledge the first case report of Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive CA-MRSA osteomyelitis in a child in the UK.
社区获得性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(CA-MRSA)在无症状携带者以及小儿软组织感染病例中的患病率均在上升。CA-MRSA可能表达诸如杀白细胞素等毒力因子,这使得由此类病菌引起的软组织和硬组织感染难以治疗。我们报告了一名10岁男孩胫骨近端骨髓炎的病例,并讨论了其治疗方法。据作者所知,这是英国首例关于儿童杀白细胞素阳性CA-MRSA骨髓炎的病例报告。
