Community-acquired Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Mycotic Aneurysm

抄録

Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) continues to emerge as a cause of serious infections. We present the first case of abdominal mycotic aneurysm caused by Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive CA-MRSA. This case adds another presentation to the clinical spectrum of CA-MRSA infections, and highlights the problem encountered in the choice of the therapy of serious community-acquired infections in an era of increasing CA-MRSA infections.
