Presentation
Within 12 h of presentation, he underwent surgical debridement. Despite aggressive supportive care, the patient died less than 24 h after presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Infectious Mononucleosis
Abstract It is rare to see a concurrent infection with infectious mononucleosis and community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Tianjin, China. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Poor Feeding
A 24-day-old boy presented with fever, irritability and poor feeding. Blood culture grew methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Inguinal Hernia
These procedures comprise 170,000 inguinal hernia repairs per year, and 40,000 parietal hernia repairs, with this latter group including 20,000 incisional hernias. [doi.org]
Gastrointestinal
- Lower Abdominal Pain
A 6-year-old boy was referred to a tertiary children's hospital for a 6-day history of right lower abdominal pain and fever. Radiographic findings showed hepatic abscesses and soft tissue abscesses around the left femur. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Although the patient required long-term teicoplanin treatment, a further decline in renal function was not observed, and blood culture remained negative after the start of treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Fifteen (71%) patients received anti-MRSA treatment with vancomycin or linezolid, where linezolid-treated patients showed better prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Besides this cohort study, Soriano et al composed 163 matched pairs of patients with MSSA and MRSA bacteremia on basis of preexisting comorbidities, prognosis of underlying disease, and length of hospitalization prior to the bacteremia. [doi.org]
Etiology
INTRODUCTION: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common etiological agent of a life-threatening infection in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The role of S. aureus and MRSA in the etiology of these complications is very strong [ 28, 29 ]. Vascular surgery The incidence of SSIs at the groin after vascular procedures ranges from 3 % to 44 % [ 30 ]. [doi.org]
Epidemiology
Several of the strains detected indicated epidemiological links to the Middle Eastern/Arabian Gulf region. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The purpose of this review was to summarize available data to help describe the epidemiology of MRSA in the community. [doi.org]
Pathophysiology
However, the pathophysiology of spontaneous skin and subcutaneous infections is different from that of SSI. Spontaneous MRSA abscesses are likely to develop in people with other local or systemic illnesses that predispose them to such abscesses. [doi.org]
