摘要
Objective: Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is emerging as an important pathogen. However, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus rarely causes nasal septal abscess. Case report: We present a case of severe, community-acquired, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection causing rapidly progressing sinusitis, nasal septal abscess and facial cellulitis. Conclusion: This report serves to remind the clinician of the expanding spectrum of severe infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, all requiring prompt diagnosis and appropriate medical and/or surgical management.
