Abstract EN
A middle age male with type 2 diabetes mellitus presented with urinary symptoms.
Blood and urine cultures were consistent with Methicillin Resistant Staphylcoccal Aureus (MRSA).
A computed tomography demonstrated mutiple prostatic microabscessess.
No other hematogenous source was identified.
Transurethral prostatic drainage and intravenous Vancomycin followed by oral doxcycline led to clinical success for this likely Community acquired case of MRSA (CA-MRSA).
We discuss our case report and discuss the current literature on the trends, causation, diagnosis and treatment of MRSA induced prostatic abscess.
