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]
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]
- 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]
- Gangrene
Within a few days, they evolve into a gangrenous ulcer with a black/gray eschar surrounded by an erythematous halo. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular
- 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
- Photosensitivity
However, there was no significant difference in the two photosensitizers that might be due to the environment in vivo. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- 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]
Neurologic
- Paresis
This infant also had vocal cord paresis, a likely complication of the surgery. The clinical course, diagnosis, and treatment of this patient are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]

Etiology
This report will provide readers with a better understanding of the etiology, clinical presentation, evaluation methods, and appropriate treatment of LS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

(Etiology) The most important cause for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection occurrence is the unnecessary use of antibiotics. [dovemed.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]
