What is the clinical presentation of CA-MRSA in children?
The most common manifestations of CA-MRSA are skin and soft tissue infections including cellulitis, abscesses, and furuncles. The next most common presentation is pneumonia. The severity of CA-MRSA in children appears similar to infections caused by methicillin-sensitive S. aureus. Although severe infection is rare, there have been four reports of children who have died from CA-MRSA.
