Abstract
We report a fatal case of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)‐induced necrotizing pneumonia that was refractory to adequate vancomycin treatment (trough value, 13.1 µg/ml), drainage of hydropneumothorax, and veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Despite appropriate treatment, MRSA infection can cause rapidly progressive disease with a high‐case fatality rate.
