ABSTRACT: Staphylococcal
pleuropulmonary disease (SPP) is the localization of pathogenic staphylococcal
disease in the lung and pleura and its general haematogenic consequences. This
location is not primary, but follows a primary skin or mucous infection that
may go unnoticed. This is a very rare phenomenon in neonatology and in the
various literature reviews. Through our observation we report
the clinical diagnosis of a newborn 13-day age with pleuro-pulmonary
staphyloccocia point of departure cutaneous, thus the paraclinical explorations performed in our patient therapeutic
management and evolutionary profile after a 3-month decline. Note that
the problem of resistance of staphylococci to different antibiotics is
currently a real public health problem making the choice of treatment very
difficult for the clinician.
