Abstract

In this article, a less common course of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (MRSA) is presented to raise awareness. A 14-year-old male patient who developed necrotizing pneumonia due to MRSA after blunt trauma is described. MRSA can cause high mortality and severe morbidity. In community-acquired pneumonia, MRSA should be considered, especially when there is a history of blunt trauma.
