Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Necrotizing Pneumonia Arising From an Infected Episiotomy Site

Abstract

Community-acquired MRSA is an emerging problem, which may present as skin and soft tissue infections or sepsis. Seeding from an infected episiotomy site seems to be a potential route of systemic infection. The use of empirical treatment with beta-lactam agents may fail. Appropriate cultures should be obtained and if MRSA is diagnosed, vancomycin should be employed.
