| Abstract |
Background: Methicillin resistant 'Staphylococcus aureus' (MRSA) infection has classically been associated with institutional health care settings such as hospitals and nursing homes. Objective: This article presents a case of community acquired MRSA infection resulting in severe osteomyelitis of the humerus, followed by a brief discussion and literature review. Discussion: Over the past few years, more community acquired cases of MRSA have occurred. Methicillin resistant 'S. aureus' usually infects skin and soft tissue. Occasionally, a life threatening infection occurs involving the blood, lungs, heart and bone.
