Recognition and treatment of neonatal community‐associated MRSA pneumonia and bacteremia

Abstract

Abstract Community‐associated strains of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA‐MRSA) have recently emerged as a major cause of serious infections among older children and are now being seen in NICU patients. We present the case of a preterm infant with CA‐MRSA necrotizing pneumonia and secondary bacteremia. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2008; 43:203–205. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
