A 17 year old girl underwent tumor excision and reconstruction for a recurrent buccal rhabdomyosarcoma. Postoperatively, she developed a local wound infection with MRSA. Multiple antimicrobial chemotherapies and local irrigation failed to improve the symptoms. But administration of Vancomycin with Rifampicin resulted in immediate disappearance of the MRSA from the wound site and improvement of the systemic infection.
The definition of MRSA and methods for treatment and prevention are discussed.
