A rare case of acute osteomyelitis due to Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a young healthy adult

摘要

IntroductionMost community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections affect skin or soft tissues, while invasive and life-threatening illnesses including osteomyelitis are less common. CA-MRSA infections occur especially in the pediatric age group, while the occurrence of CA-MRSA osteomyelitis in adults is uncommonly reported.
