| description | Vancomycin bead is an important ancillary treatment for osteomyelitis caused by methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, red-man syndrome, which can be a life-threatening complication of
vancomycin, may occur from the use of vancomycin beads albeit rarely. We report our first case of red-man
syndrome caused by vancomycin bead's insertion for chronic osteomyelitis. Symptomatic treatment was not
effective and removal of the vancomycin beads seems to be the best treatment for this condition. |
