Description
Methicilin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is well known as the causative agent in severe infections, but we had recognized methicilin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis(MRSE) was not the pathogen. However, MRSE has become to be caused of serious infectious diseases to compromised hosts. A case of severe pneumonia after esophagectomy due to MRSE is reported.A 60 year-old man underwent an esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. During artificial ventilation, on the 6th postoperative day, high fever and leucocytosis were observed, and chest X-P showed severe pneumonia. A tracheotomy was performed and only MRSE was isolated from the sputum. Vancomycin and minocycline were used intravenously. The pneumonia improved gradually and the respirator removed on the 20th postoperative day. MRSE is considered less pathogenic than MRSA, but it is necessary that MRSE is recognized one of the important causes of severe infection after major operations.
