Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is increasingly isolated from diabetic foot ulcers, and may be associated with an adverse prognosis. We have explored the relationship between MRSA isolation from foot ulcers and nasal MRSA carriage. Over a 12 month period, 65 consecutively attending patients with diabetic foot ulceration were recruited. Demographic information was collected, and the ulcer and nose swabbed bacteriologically using standard techniques. The patients were mean age 61 year, diabetes duration 14 year, and HbA1c 8.5%. There were 61% male and 85% with type 2 diabetes. Ulcers were neuropathic in 55%, ischaemic in 14% and neuroischaemic in 31%. MRSA was isolated from 12 (19%) ulcers, and 11 (17%) had nasal carriage. Of the MRSA positive ulcer patients 7/12 (58%) had nasal MRSA carriage, compared with 4/53 (8%) with MRSA negative ulcers (p<0.0003). We conclude that nasal MRSA carriage in diabetic patients is a significant risk factor for foot ulcer MRSA infection.

We report a case of fatal necrotizing pneumonia and sepsis caused by community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) in an otherwise well, 48-year-old Canadian man with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had travelled to Texas. Despite therapy that included intravenous antibiotics, intravenous immune globulin and other supportive measures, the patient succumbed to his illness. Recently, CA-MRSA pneumonia has been reported in several countries. The virulence of this organism may in part be related to its ability to produce toxins, such as Panton-Valentine leukocidin. As rates of CA-MRSA increase worldwide, physicians should be aware of the potential for MRSA to cause life-threatening infections in patients presenting to Canadian emergency departments (EDs). Necrotizing pneumonia caused by MRSA must be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute, severe respiratory illness. Early recognition of this syndrome in the ED may help physicians initiate appropriate antibiotic therapy in a timely manner.

Diffuse tropical primary pyomyositis is an infrequent entity in our country, with few cases associated to community-acquired Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus. There are no reported cases of Community-Acquired Methicillin- Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA- MRSA) in Peru. We present the case of a 70 year old male with a previous diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus, receiving irregular treatment, who was admitted to the hospital with a history of 10 days of low back pain radiating to the left leg, fever and forced flexion of the right hip due to pain during movement. The diagnosis of diffuse pyomyositis of both psoas muscles was performed with MRI and culture of a posterior paravertebral collection, from which Staphylococcus aureus resistant to oxacillin, penicillin and dicloxacillin was isolated.

A 56-year-old man with a history of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus, benign prostatic hypertrophy and history of recent knee and elbow abscess presented to the emergency department with nausea, vomiting, and fevers. Two days prior, he presented to the ER and was diagnosed with acute presumed prostatitis and urinary retention. He was discharged on ciprofloxacin and an indwelling Foley catheter with urology follow-up. After being unable to tolerate oral medications, he presented again to the emergency department, at which time, he was febrile and tachycardic. Physical exam was benign except for a boggy and tender prostate and bilateral CVA tenderness. Labs demonstrated leukocytosis, elevated HbA1C, and pyuria on urinalysis. Urine cultures collected at the patient's earlier emergency department visit demonstrated no growth. Computed tomography indicated an enlarged prostate with patchy areas of low density. He was admitted with sepsis secondary to prostatitis. Blood cultures on day one showed gram-positive cocci , methicillin resistant staph aureus (MRSA isolate) and persistent bacteremia for three days despite therapy with vancomycin. After adequate dosing of vancomycin, sterilization of the blood was achieved, yet urine culture demonstrated growth of MRSA. Transthoracic rchocardiogram (TTE) showed no signs of endocarditis with good visualization of valves. He was successfully treated with 14 days of vancomycin.

Context: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are a novel treatment approved for type 2 diabetes mellitus to lower hyperglycemia, systolic blood pressure, and promote weight loss. Commonly reported serious adverse events include increased mycotic urogenital infections, orthostatic hypotension, and normoglycemic ketoacidosis. Case report: We present a case of a 47-year old man with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus initiated on the SGLT-2 inhibitor canagliflozin preoperatively before a penile implant, who presented with late postoperative MRSA bacteremia and scrotal abscess requiring implant extraction. Conclusion: As the SGLT-2 inhibitors are gaining in popularity, prescribers must be aware of the potential adverse genitourinary infectious outcomes. Providers should use caution and avoid initiating SGLT-2 inhibitors in the perioperative setting, and may even consider holding or discontinuing this medication in the setting of impending GU surgery.
