A rare case of spontaneous bladder perforation with osteomyelitis and paravesical abscess due to CA-MRSA clone USA100/ST5

Abstract

Spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder represents a rare condition that may complicate with paravesical abscess. Although Staphylococcus aureus may be a part of the intestinal tract flora, it is an unusual cause of abdominal or pelvic abscesses. We report the case of a male patient with spontaneous bladder perforation with osteomyelitis and paravesical abscess, secondary to community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection.
