His symptoms included right eye proptosis, periocular edema and redness. Empirical therapy of intravenous daptomycin, rifampin and ceftriaxone was initiated. The culture of pus yielded a methicillin-resistant <jats:italic>S. aureus<\/jats:italic> isolate and the molecular analysis revealed that it was a Panton-Valentine leukocidine-positive ST80 strain. The combination antimicrobial therapy was continued for 42 days and the infection was successfully controlled.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Clinicians should be aware that young infants, even without any predisposing condition, are susceptible to orbital cellulitis caused by community-associated methicillin-resistant <jats:italic>S. aureus.<\/jats:italic> Prompt initiation of the appropriate empirical therapy, according to the local epidemiology, should successfully address the infection, preventing ocular and systemic complications.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2415-12-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,10]],"date-time":"2012-04-10T16:14:39Z","timestamp":1334074479000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["European ST80 community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus orbital cellulitis in a neonate"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Evangelia E","family":"Tsironi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fani","family":"Zacharaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ioanna N","family":"Grivea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sophia V","family":"Tachmitzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aspasia N","family":"Michoula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marianna","family":"Vlychou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Efthimia","family":"Petinaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"George A","family":"Syrogiannopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"236_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijantimicag.2005.11.004","volume":"27","author":"HC Maltezou","year":"2006","unstructured":"Maltezou HC, Giamarellou H: Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections.
