pubmed:abstractText |
The authors describe a clinical case regarding a young female patient affected by sepsis due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), associated to meningoencephalitis and cerebral abscess. The patient had no contact with hospitals in the months prior to illness and had always been healthy. She recovered thanks to linezolid therapy. The MRSA strain proved positive for Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL positive) and was therefore defined as community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA).
