We report a premature infant with Staphylococcus aureus sepsis, most probably originating from an infected peripheral iv site, and complicated by multiple brain abscesses. Diagnosis was made by cranial ultrasonography and computed tomography. Since systemic antibiotic treatment failed, surgical drainage was performed. The same organism that caused the initial sepsis grew from the pyogenic material obtained. The child is currently severely handicapped.
