RESUMO
Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is the first cause of skin and soft tissue infections, but can also produce severe diseases such as bacteremia, osteomyelitis and necrotizing pneumonia. Some S. aureus lineages have been described in cases of necrotizing pneumonia worldwide, usually in young, previously healthy patients. In this work, we describe a fatal case of necrotizing pneumonia due to community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus clone ST30-SCCmecIVc-spat019-PVL positive in an immunocompetent adult patient.
Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina adquirido en la comunidad es la primera causa de infecciones de piel y partes blandas, aunque también puede producir infecciones graves, como bacteriemia, osteomielitis y neumonía necrotizante. Algunos linajes de S. aureus se han asociado a casos de neumonía necrotizante en el mundo, generalmente en pacientes jóvenes previamente sanos. En este trabajo comunicamos un caso fatal de neumonía necrotizante causado por el clon de S. aureus resistente a meticilina adquirido en la comunidad ST30-SCCmecIVc-spat019-LPV positivo, en un paciente adulto inmunocompetente
