摘要：

Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is mostly implicated in soft tissue and skin infections. Cases with meningitis caused by CA-MRSA are rare. High index of suspicion should be kept for physicians as bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency and if untreated, has a high mortality rate. Urgent steps need to be taken to determine the cause and implement therapy. Here, we reported a case of a 58-year-old female with MRSA bacteremia and meningitis as confirmed by positive blood cultures and cerebrospinal fluid analysis; successfully managed with vancomycin and rifampin.
