Presentation
No differences between MRSA and non-MRSA lesions were present for EUS signs of inflammation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Fever
We present the case of a 6-month-old previously healthy girl who presented with high fever, labored breathing, and an enlarged cardiac silhouette on her chest radiograph. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Symptoms of this infection include fever, cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, and increased respirations. Chills accompanying fevers are especially suspicious. Many patients with Pneumonia will also cough up sputum produced by the alveoli. [microbewiki.kenyon.edu]
The patient was found with pharyngalgia and fever 2 days before, without evident causes; the highest body temperature was 39.8°C. [omicsonline.org]
Most staph skin infections, including MRSA, appear as a bump or infected area on the skin that might be: Red Swollen Painful Warm to the touch Full of pus or other drainage Accompanied by a fever Prevention Cover your wounds. [barnstablecountyhealth.org]
Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. [cdc.gov]
- Swelling
A renal biopsy specimen showed glomerular amyloid A amyloidosis of a nodular type, infiltrated mononuclear cells in the mesangium, deposition of IgG, IgA, and C3, and swelling of glomerular endothelial cells. There were no crescentic glomeruli. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Physical examination shows pharyngeal congestion, tonsil reddening and swelling, and purulent exudate on the surface of tonsils. [omicsonline.org]
The infection can cause pain and discomfort, redness, swelling, and may have pus or drainage. [americanskin.org]
Watch for signs of infection, such as redness, warmth, and swelling. If a sore or cut becomes red, oozes, causes pain, or isn’t healing, see a doctor. Clean your hands thoroughly after changing bandages or touching wounds. [vdh.virginia.gov]
If MRSA gets deeper into your skin, it can cause: redness swelling warmth pain pus If it gets further into your body, it can also cause: a high temperature of 38C (100.4F) or above chills aches and pains dizziness confusion Tell a member of staff if you [nhs.uk]
- Chills
Chills accompanying fevers are especially suspicious. Many patients with Pneumonia will also cough up sputum produced by the alveoli. Pneumonia is diagnosed through symptoms and a chest examination. [microbewiki.kenyon.edu]
If MRSA gets deeper into your skin, it can cause: redness swelling warmth pain pus If it gets further into your body, it can also cause: a high temperature of 38C (100.4F) or above chills aches and pains dizziness confusion Tell a member of staff if you [nhs.uk]
Complications of MRSA If untreated, MRSA can lead to sepsis with rash, headaches, muscle aches, chills, fever, chest pain and shortness of breath, and in some cases, the death of the patient. This is more common in HA-MRSA than CA-MRSA. [dermnetnz.org]
The signs and symptoms of MRSA Infection may include: A cut, scrape, or boil that becomes inflamed and does not heal A painful, red, or swollen area on the skin often mistaken for a spider bite Infected patients may have fever, fatigue, and chills upon [dovemed.com]
It’s important to see your doctor right away if you notice any of the following symptoms: rash headaches muscle aches chills fever fatigue cough shortness of breath chest pain Symptoms of CA-MRSA CA-MRSA usually causes skin infections. [healthline.com]
- High Fever
We present the case of a 6-month-old previously healthy girl who presented with high fever, labored breathing, and an enlarged cardiac silhouette on her chest radiograph. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This can lead to high fever, blood infections and pneumonia. Staph is confirmed by lab analysis of a swab sample. A swab can be taken from inside the nose or from a draining sore. [afscme.org]
When produced in large quantities, this toxin can enter the blood stream and cause high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, rash, sore throat, and body aches. [microbewiki.kenyon.edu]
- Shivering
Chill was found; however, no shivering, cough, expectoration, chest distress, polypnea, headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea was observed. [omicsonline.org]
Respiratoric
- Sputum
All patients reported reduced sputum production and viscosity. By the end of the follow-up period, there was an increase in ventilated FRCMBW and no change in plethysmographic FRCPL. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Sputum cultures Sputum is the substance that comes up from the respiratory tract during coughing. A sputum culture analyzes the sputum for the presence of bacteria, cell fragments, blood, or pus. [healthline.com]
MRSA may be one of the germs that the laboratory can detect by testing the sputum culture in a specific way. Ask your CF care team about the results of your last throat or sputum culture. [cff.org]
Gastrointestinal
- Food Poisoning
Yet, the bacteria may sometimes cause diseases such as infection of skin, wound, urinary tract, lung, bloodstream and food poisoning. Most S. aureus infections can be treated by antibiotics effectively. [chp.gov.hk]
These “Staph infections” can cause bacteremia, endocarditis, soft tissue infections, pneumonia, bone and joint infections, CNS, toxic shock syndrome, and even food poisoning [4]. [microbewiki.kenyon.edu]
Cardiovascular
- Chest Pain
If the bacteria burrow deeper, they can cause infections throughout the body, including in the bloodstream, heart, bones, joints, lungs and surgical wounds, which can result in chest pain, fever and even death. [livescience.com]
Complications of MRSA If untreated, MRSA can lead to sepsis with rash, headaches, muscle aches, chills, fever, chest pain and shortness of breath, and in some cases, the death of the patient. This is more common in HA-MRSA than CA-MRSA. [dermnetnz.org]
It’s important to see your doctor right away if you notice any of the following symptoms: rash headaches muscle aches chills fever fatigue cough shortness of breath chest pain Symptoms of CA-MRSA CA-MRSA usually causes skin infections. [healthline.com]

Symptoms of this infection include fever, cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, and increased respirations. Chills accompanying fevers are especially suspicious. Many patients with Pneumonia will also cough up sputum produced by the alveoli. [microbewiki.kenyon.edu]
- Hypotension
[…] hospital-acquired MRSA infections is as follows: Any of the above skin infections (early signs and symptoms) Pneumonia IV site infection Surgical wound infection Symptoms increasing or not getting better even with antibiotic therapy Necrotizing fasciitis Sepsis Hypotension [emedicinehealth.com]
Skin
- Erythema
The first clinical observation is grouped vesicles with surrounding erythema. Within a few days, they evolve into a gangrenous ulcer with a black/gray eschar surrounded by an erythematous halo. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. [cdc.gov]
- Eczema
A diagnosis of MRSA in the setting of eczema was achieved with concomitant use of photography and dermatopathologic review. Antibiotics were tailored to the resistant infection and preventative moisturization therapy was utilized. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The most common place for colonisation is your armpits, nostrils, skin (especially if you have eczema), throat and urine. [patient.info]
- Skin Ulcer
We used the following search strategy in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL): #1 MeSH descriptor Skin Ulcer explode all trees #2 MeSH descriptor Leg Ulcer explode all trees #3 MeSH descriptor Foot Ulcer explode all trees #4 MeSH [cochranelibrary.com]
Treatment
Arthroscopic treatment has been validated as a treatment option, but there is limited literature comparing it to an open arthrotomy regarding risk factors for failing single-stage surgical treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
(Outcomes/Resolutions) For individuals in good health, the prognosis is reported to be very good following a Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection The prognosis for the section of people prone to MRSA Infection (such as the elderly, hospitalized [dovemed.com]
The earlier the appropriate diagnosis and therapy is instituted for MRSA, the better the prognosis. [emedicinehealth.com]

Epidemiology
Community-associated MRSA can be distinguished from health care-associated MRSA based on genetic, epidemiologic, or microbiological profiles. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Antibiotics were tailored to the resistant infection and preventative moisturization therapy was utilized. Awareness of dermatologic conditions affecting the vulva is principal in routine gynecologic care. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
