Pulmonary pleural staphylococcal infection is common in sub-Saharan Africa. It is rare in temperate zones and occurs in different epidemiological conditions. In African regions, very few staphylococcal infections are hospital-acquired, with most cases resulting from infection in everyday life. Pulmonary pleural staphylococcal infection typically affects infants. The frequency of neonatal forms is unknown. We describe here in the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic characteristics of a case of pulmonary pleural staphylococcal infection in a newborn. The symptoms of our patient were typical, involving predominantly mechanical and hematological problems. The prevention of infection in very young children and early treatment of such infections could reduce the morbidity of this disease.
肺部胸膜葡萄球菌感染在撒哈拉以南非洲很常见。在温带地区很少见，且发生在不同的流行病学条件下。在非洲地区，很少有葡萄球菌感染是医院获得性的，大多数病例是由日常生活中的感染引起的。肺部胸膜葡萄球菌感染通常影响婴儿。新生儿形式的感染频率尚不清楚。我们在此描述一例新生儿肺部胸膜葡萄球菌感染的流行病学、临床和治疗特征。我们患者的症状很典型，主要涉及机械性和血液学问题。预防幼儿感染并尽早治疗此类感染可降低该疾病的发病率。
