Özet
Community-associated strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus have recently emerged as a major cause of serious infections with rarely observed serious complication, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and septic pulmonary embolism (SPE), among children. SPE, DVT and bone or joint infections are a triad which is rarely seen in children. This clinical syndrome is a life-threatening disorder, which requires prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment. We report a 14-year-old boy who was diagnosed with SPE, DVT and disseminated, community-acquired, methicillin-resistant S. aureus. © 2009 IOS Press. All rights reserved.
