ABSTRACT

We report a case of severe pneumonia secondary to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in a 66-year-old healthy woman. She was unable to maintain adequate oxygenation even with mechanical ventilation owing to severe respiratory failure, necessitating veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). We administered antibiotics, and the patient received appropriate systemic treatment; however, she died of necrotizing pneumonia that led to pulmonary suppuration. Genetic analysis confirmed that the isolated MRSA was community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA), and the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene was detected in this patient. Few CA-MRSA- and PVL-producing strains are observed in Japan; however, these strains may cause sporadic infections in future.
