摘要
We describe a case of a scapular abscess, osteomyelitis, septic emboli, and occlusive venous thrombosis secondary to community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in an otherwise healthy pediatric patient. This syndrome represents a life-threatening condition that should ideally be recognized and treated in a timely fashion, not only with early antibiotics and hospital admission but also with anticoagulation and possible surgical intervention. Clinicians need to be aware of the severity of the illness that can be caused by community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections and complications including venous thrombosis and septic emboli.
