ABSTRACT
Community-acquired Staphylococcus aureus (SA) pneumonia can present with multiple complications but has not been reported earlier to present as or lead to Guillain Barre syndrome (GBS). However, there are few case reports of GBS following SA infective endocarditis, polymyositis, and meningitis. We report an unusual presentation of GBS most probably secondary to community-acquired SA necrotizing pneumonia in a young immunocompetent adult. The clinical course, challenges in the management, and unfortunate death of the patient due to an unforeseen complication have been discussed. This report adds to the clinical knowledge of rare association of community-acquired SA necrotizing pneumonia and GBS.
