“…In our study, 15% of our patients had skin findings, which was lower than the previously reported series (6, 7). We think that this lower ratio may be related to the low socioeconomic status of our community or to a lack of file data.…”

“…In the same series, five cases had abscesses localized in different regions of the body with or without cutaneous lesions (6). In a series of seven cases of disseminated staphylococcal disease, five had petechial rashes, three patients had pneumonia (one had pneumatocele and the other had pleural effusion), four had osteomyelitis and/or septic arthritis, and two had transient renal failure (7).…”

In this article, the clinical and laboratory findings of six (15%) cases of cutaneous manifestations of 39 patients with sepsis caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were reviewed retrospectively. Our purpose was to determine the cutaneous manifestations in patients with sepsis caused by S. aureus. In our study, four patients had maculopapular and/or petechial/purpuric rashes, and two had erythematous lesions (one of them also had pustular lesions, and the other had furuncles). Aside from these, all patients had one or more systemic involvement such as bronchopneumonia, arthritis, osteomyelitis, or cardiac involvement. In conclusion, our findings suggest that there are no skin findings specific to staphylococcal sepsis and that pulmonary infections appear to have a high correlation with cutaneous findings, because all of our patients had evidence of bronchopneumonia. The mortality of staphylococcal sepsis associated with cutaneous findings appears to be high.

“…In two series consisting of 31 and seven patients with staphylococcal pneumonia, the mortality rate was found to be 9.7% and 14.2%, respectively. 9,10 In the series of Joosten et al 4 including 36 patients, mortality rate was noted as 6%. In this last study, diagnostic and/or therapeutic thoracentesis of pleural fluid was performed in 17 of 36 patients (47%), 21 patients (58%) needed chest tube drainage and 20 (55%) had a thoracotomy.…”

“…We could imagine a transient immunodeficiency, occurring just before invasive S. aureus infection, secondary to a viral infection with neutrophil decline, as it suggests in a paper about seven healthy children with S. aureus disseminated infection and normal immunity 9. Indeed, S. aureus is one of the main neutrophil foe 10.…”

Methicillin-sensible Staphylococcus aureus causing endocarditis, with cerebral and orthopaedic complications, in a 17-month-old child with no risk factor

We report a case of Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis, with large vegetation, in a 17-month-old male infant, complicated with meningitis, ischaemic strokes and osteoarthritis leading to haemorrhagic stroke by aneurysm rupture. He did not present any risk factor for endocarditis. The final course was favourable through, after valve replacement. The strain was sensible to methicillin and belongs to complex clonal 398, with accessory gene regulator I. We did not found immunodeficiency.
