Abstract
A 2-year-old girl admitted with third degree burns (35% TBSA) received 7 weeks poly-antibiotic therapy combined with heparin for a severe Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus sepsis with multiple metastatic abscesses (lung, skin, brain), from a suppurative thrombophlebitis of the right jugularis interna, extended to the axillary and cava superior veins. Surgical treatment was contraindicated by the local extension. The child was discharged without major neurological sequelae 3 months after admission.
