An interesting case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis: From an unknown source to source control

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Infective endocarditis due to MRSA is rarely reported in people without any underlying risk factors. We report this case of MRSA native valve endocarditis in an apparently healthy middle-aged woman without any conventional risk factors for acquiring MRSA bacteraemia, and how multidisciplinary management changes the clinical outcome.
