Abstract

Methicillin-resistant staph aureus (MRSA) infections are challenging to treat, and with the emergence of community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) strains, early consideration of this pathogen in populations without typical risk factors is critical. Here we present a case of CA-MRSA pneumonia that resulted in Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) with septic shock, pyelonephritis, and muscle abscess.
