Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Meningitis Associated with Spondylodiscitis and Psoas Abscess in an Immunocompetent Patient

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) meningitis are rare. They are mostly considered as a nosocomial complication of a neurosurgical procedure or a contiguous infection. In this paper we discuss the case of an immunocompetent patient with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus meningitis associated with bacteremia, spondylodiscitis of the lumbar spine and psoas abscess. The patient successfully followed an antibiotic therapy associating Levofloxacin, Rifampin and Vancomycin. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and proper treatment.
