Abstract

We report a fatal case of brain abscess caused by infection due to a community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain (USA300) in a 37-year-old incarcerated woman with a history of furunculosis and injection drug use. Community-onset pyogenic brain abscess should be added to the growing list of life-threatening invasive infections caused by epidemic community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus.
