Abstract
We report a 10-month-old boy initially presented with iatrogenic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. After a full dose and course of adequate antibiotic treatment, the diagnosis was complicated with atypical Kawasaki disease three weeks later. Two courses of intravenous immunoglobulin and steroid pulse therapy were prescribed.
