Prostatic abscess, a rare infection, is predominantly caused by Escherichia coli and other gram-negative bacteria among middle-aged men. Prostatic abscess caused by community-ac-quired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is extremely rare. We report two patients with prostatic abscesses caused by community-acquired MRSA. On the basis of a de-tailed history, physical examination, and essential imaging studies, we were able to establish a correct diagnosis. Both of our patients recovered following surgical abscess drainage with only 2 weeks of vancomycin therapy. We discuss our patients and review the community-ac-quired MRSA cases in the literature regarding characteristics, management, and outcomes. |
