OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiology of CA-MRSA cases in Brazil order to understand its occurrence, risk factors and forms of management in the country compared with the worldwide situation. METHOD: Literature review and for articles selection considering the databases: Scopus, Science Direct, Isi Web of Knowledge, PubMed and BVS. RESULTS: Ten national articles describing 21 cases of CA-MRSA were identified, mostly in children, adolescents and adults with skin and soft tissue infection progressing to severe infections related to Oceania Southwest Pacific Clone (OSPC) leading to hospitalization. Conclusión: Although CA-MRSA is considered a global important microorganism we found a lack of published data about its epidemiology in Brazil, which hinder the design of the reality of the country against CA-MRSA.
