摘要：
We describe an unusual localization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection (MRSA) in a very young newborn. A 3-week-old male infant was admitted with fever, irritability, sialorrhea and stiffed left neck. The ENT examination revealed a deep neck mass and an ultrasound examination showed diffuse swelling of the left latero-pharyngeal area. A CT examination confirmed a deep neck abscess with difficult-to-define borders. Blood and nasopharyngeal Cultures returned positive for MRSA. Treatment was started with intravenous teicoplanin and continued for 14 days with a marked decrease in abscess's dimensions and improvement in patient's general condition. MRSA should be suspected in the etiology and treatment of neck abscesses in newborns, infants and young children. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
