A Rare Presentation of Community Acquired Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

Introduction: Prostatic abscess is a rarely described condition, and is typically caused by gram-negative organisms such as Enterobacteriaceae. However, as the prevalence of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) increases in the community, unusual infections due to this organism have recently been published. In this abstract, we describe a patient with diabetes mellitus type 2, who presents in diabetic ketoacidosis, later found to be due to a prostatic abscess from which MRSA was cultured.
