Abstract

PEREZ, M. Guadalupe et al. Staphylococcus aureus methicillin-resistant community acquired neonatal orbital cellulitis. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2012, vol.110, n.1, pp.e9-e12. ISSN 0325-0075.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2011.e9.

Orbital cellulitis typically occurs in older children, but it can occasionally affect infants and neonates. Staphylococcus aureus is the main pathogen isolated. Outcome depends on an adequate initial approach. We report three neonates with orbital cellulitis caused by community-associated MRSA.

Keywords : MRSA-CA; Orbital cellulitis; Newborn; Orbital abscess.
