Necrotizing pneumonia is a severe complication of pneumonia, characterized by local destruction of lung tissue with development of multiple small cavities (abscesses) and may be associated with empyema. Empyema is an unusual complication in neonates with limited data reported. We present a healthy term neonate with late-onset sepsis caused by Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) bacteremia due to severe necrotizing pneumonia associated with advanced stage empyema. To the best of our knowledge this is the youngest reported patient with multifocal lung abscesses associated with stage 2 empyema treated successfully without surgical intervention.
坏死性肺炎是肺炎的一种严重并发症，其特征是肺组织局部破坏并形成多个小空洞（脓肿），且可能与脓胸相关。脓胸在新生儿中是一种罕见的并发症，相关报道的数据有限。我们报告了一例足月儿，因耐甲氧西林（MRSA）菌血症导致晚发性败血症，其病因是严重坏死性肺炎合并晚期脓胸。据我们所知，这是报道中最年轻的患有多灶性肺脓肿并伴有2期脓胸且未经手术干预而成功治愈的患者。
