Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) cases are rarely reported. In this article, we present a patient who had no history of disease or risk factors for MRSA but developed multiple MRSA abscesses after receiving intramuscular injections outside the hospital. With this case report, we aimed to emphasize the importance of attention to community-acquired MRSA infections and highlight the need to maintain aseptic conditions to reduce potential complications after intramuscular injections.
