Abstract
The incidence of Staphylococcus aureus infections is increasing worldwide. Apart from localized infections, it can cause life-threatening disseminated disease. Community-associated staphylococcal infections are difficult to recognize early unless there is awareness of its varied presentation. We present two previously healthy adolescent boys with methicillin-sensitive S. aureus sepsis, highlighting its invasive nature and specific treatment considerations.
