Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are cases of urgent management that often leads to hospitalizations in intensive care and prolonged management of antibiotic therapy. In this occasion, we present the case of a 38-year-old female patient with sepsis secondary to banal dermal infection due MRSA that complicates with infectious thrombus of the left renal vein associated with multiple foci of bilateral renal abscesses. As an extreme and exceptional measure, emergency bilateral radical nephrectomy was performed to save the patient's life.
